“Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:”
King James Version (KJV)
38:19 Lest they - Lest the Chaldeans should deliver me into the hands of those Jews which have fallen to them.
