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.

21 Mais si tu refuses de sortir, voici ce que l’Éternel m’a révélé:

22 Toutes les femmes qui restent dans la maison du roi de Juda seront menées aux chefs du roi de Babylone, et elles diront: Tu as été trompé, dominé, par ceux qui t’annonçaient la paix; et quand tes pieds sont enfoncés dans la boue, ils se retirent.

23 Toutes tes femmes et tes enfants seront menés aux Chaldéens; et toi, tu n’échapperas pas à leurs mains, tu seras saisi par la main du roi de Babylone, et cette ville sera brûlée par le feu.

24 Sédécias dit à Jérémie: Que personne ne sache rien de ces discours, et tu ne mourras pas.
