Jeremiah 38:24-26

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁴ Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “Let no man know of these words, and you shall not die.

²⁵ “But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you and say to you, ‘Declare to us, now, what you have said to the king and also what the king said to you. Do not hide it from us, and we will not kill you,’

²⁶ “then you shall say to them, ‘I humbly petitioned the king not to make me return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.’”
