Jeremiah 38:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ If you refuse to surrender, this city shall be set afire by the Babylonian army and you will not escape.”

¹⁹ “But I am afraid to surrender,” the king said, “for the Babylonians will hand me over to the Jews who have defected to them, and who knows what they will do to me?”

²⁰ Jeremiah replied, “You won’t get into their hands if only you will obey the Lord; your life will be spared, and all will go well for you.
