Jeremiah 38:14-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
14 King Zedekiah then sent for Jeremiah and brought him to the third entrance of the temple of the Lord. He said to Jeremiah, “I am going to ask you something. Do not hide anything from me.”
15 Jeremiah replied, “Won’t you put me to death if I tell you the truth? If I give you advice, you won’t listen to me.”
16 So King Zedekiah swore a secret oath to Jeremiah: “As surely as the Lord lives, who gave us our lives, I will not put you to death, and I will not hand you over to the men who seek your life.”

Lexham English Bible
14 And Zedekiah the king sent and made someone bring Jeremiah the prophet to him, to the third entrance that was at the temple[a] of Yahweh. And the king said to Jeremiah, “I am asking you something,[b] you must not hide anything[c] from me.” 15 And Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “If I tell you, will you not surely kill me? Besides,[d] if I advise you, you will not listen to me. 16 So Zedekiah the king swore to Jeremiah in secret, saying,[e] “As Yahweh lives,[f] who has made for us this life, I will not kill you and I will not give you into the hand of these men who are seeking your life.”
