Jeremiah 38:18 in Context — Jeremiah 38

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.

20 E disse Jeremias: Não te entregarão. Ouve, por favor, a voz do SENHOR que eu te falo, e terás bem, e tua alma viverá.
