Jeremiah 38:19-23
Legacy Standard Bible
19 Then King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I (A)am anxious because of the Jews who have [a](B)gone over to the Chaldeans, lest they give me over into their hand and they (C)deal severely with me.” 20 But Jeremiah said, “They will not give you over. Please (D)listen to the voice of Yahweh in what I am saying to you, that it may go (E)well with you and [b](F)you may live. 21 But if you keep refusing to go out, this is the word which Yahweh has shown me: 22 ‘And behold, all of the (G)women who have remained in the house of the king of Judah are going to be brought out to the [c]officers of the king of Babylon; and behold, those women will say,
“[d]Your close friends
Have misled and overpowered you;
While your feet were sunk in the mud,
They turned back.”
23 And they will also bring out all your wives and your (H)sons to the Chaldeans, and (I)you yourself will not escape from their hand, but will be seized by the hand of the king of Babylon, and (J)this city will be burned with fire.’”

Holman Christian Standard Bible
19 But King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I am worried about the Judeans who have deserted to the Chaldeans. They may hand me over to the Judeans to abuse me.”(A)
20 “They will not hand you over,” Jeremiah replied. “Obey the voice of the Lord in what I am telling you, so it may go well for you and you can live. 21 But if you refuse to surrender, this is the verdict[a] that the Lord has shown me: 22 ‘All the women[b] who remain in the palace of Judah’s king will be brought out to the officials of the king of Babylon and will say:
Your trusted friends[c] misled[d] you
and overcame you.
Your feet sank into the mire,
and they deserted you.
23 All your wives and sons will be brought out to the Chaldeans.(B) You yourself will not escape from them, for you will be seized by the king of Babylon and this city will burn down.’”
