Jeremiah 38:17 in Context — Jeremiah 38
15 E Jeremias disse a Zedequias: Se eu te declarar, por acaso não me matarás? E se eu te aconselhar, não me darás ouvido.
16 Então o rei Zedequias jurou a Jeremias em segredo, dizendo: Vive o SENHOR que nos fez esta alma, que não te matarei, nem te entregarei nas mãos destes homens que buscam [tirar] tua vida.
17 Então Jeremias disse a Zedequias: Assim diz o SENHOR Deus dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Se voluntariamente saíres aos príncipes do rei de Babilônia, então tua alma viverá, e esta cidade não será queimada a fogo; e viverás tu e tua casa;
18 Mas se não saíres aos príncipes do rei de Babilônia, então esta cidade será entregue nas mãos dos caldeus, e a queimarão a fogo; e tu não escaparás de suas mãos.
19 E disse o rei Zedequias a Jeremias: Eu temo por causa dos judeus que se renderam aos caldeus; que não venham a me entregar em suas mãos, e me maltratem.
