Jeremiah 38:26 in Context — Jeremiah 38

24 Y dijo Sedechîas á Jeremías: Nadie sepa estas palabras, y no morirás.

25 Y si los príncipes oyeren que yo he hablado contigo, y vinieren á ti y te dijeren: Decláranos ahora qué hablaste con el rey, no nos lo encubras, y no te mataremos; asimismo qué te dijo el rey;

26 Les dirás: Supliqué al rey que no me hiciese tornar á casa de Jonathán porque no me muriese allí.

27 Y vinieron luego todos los príncipes á Jeremías, y preguntáronle: y él les respondió conforme á todo lo que el rey le había mandado. Con esto se dejaron de él, porque el negocio no se había oído.

28 Y quedó Jeremías en el patio de la cárcel hasta el día que fué tomada Jerusalem; y [allí] estaba cuando Jerusalem fué tomada.
