Jeremiah 38:18 in Context — Jeremiah 38
16 Le roi Sédécias jura secrètement à Jérémie, en disant: L’Éternel est vivant, lui qui nous a donné la vie! Je ne te ferai pas mourir, et je ne te livrerai pas entre les mains de ces hommes qui en veulent à ta vie.
17 Jérémie dit alors à Sédécias: Ainsi parle l’Éternel, le Dieu des armées, le Dieu d’Israël: Si tu vas te rendre aux chefs du roi de Babylone, tu auras la vie sauve, et cette ville ne sera pas brûlée par le feu; tu vivras, toi et ta maison.
18 Mais si tu ne te rends pas aux chefs du roi de Babylone, cette ville sera livrée entre les mains des Chaldéens, qui la brûleront par le feu; et toi, tu n’échapperas pas à leurs mains.
19 Le roi Sédécias dit à Jérémie: Je crains les Juifs qui ont passé aux Chaldéens; je crains qu’on ne me livre entre leurs mains, et qu’ils ne m’outragent.
20 Jérémie répondit: On ne te livrera pas. Écoute la voix de l’Éternel dans ce que je te dis; tu t’en trouveras bien, et tu auras la vie sauve.
