“I’m going to ask you something, and I want to know the truth,” King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah. “Why?” Jeremiah asked. “You won’t listen and you might even have me killed.” “I promise I will neither kill you nor hand you over to those who want to kill you.”
“This is what the Lord has said: If you surrender to the officers of the Babylonians, your life will be spared and the city will not be burned; you and your family will live. But, if you do not surrender, the city will be burned and you will not escape the Babylonians.” [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Jeremiah 38:14-28]
