Zedekiah Sends for Jeremiah
14 Then King Zedekiah (A)sent and [a]had Jeremiah the prophet brought to him at the third entrance that is in the house of Yahweh; and the king said to Jeremiah, “I am going to (B)ask you something; do not hide anything from me.” 15 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “(C)If I tell you, will you not certainly put me to death? Besides, if I give you counsel, you will not listen to me.” 16 But King Zedekiah swore to Jeremiah in (D)secret saying, “As Yahweh lives, who made this [b](E)life for us, surely I will not put you to death, nor will I give you over to the hand of (F)these men who are seeking your [c]life.”
