Jeremiah 38:20 in Context — Jeremiah 38
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.
21 Mas se tu não quiseres sair, esta é a palavra que o SENHOR me mostrou:
22 Eis que todas as mulheres que restaram na casa do rei de Judá serão levadas aos príncipes do rei da Babilônia; e elas mesmas dirão: Os teus amigos te enganaram, e prevaleceram contra ti; teus pés se atolaram na lama, e eles se viraram para trás.
