And Zedekiah will say to Jeremiah, No man shall know of these words, and thou shalt not die. And if the chiefs shall hear that I spake with thee, and they came to thee, and said to thee, Announce now to us what thou spakest to the king; thou shalt not hide from us, and we will not put thee to death; and what said the king to thee: And say thou to them, I cause my supplication to fall before the king, not to turn me back to the house of Jonathan, to die there.
