Jeremiah 38:25-27

Revised Geneva Translation

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.’”

²⁷ Then all the princes came to Jeremiah and asked him. And he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So, they stopped speaking with him. For the matter was not heard.
