- 西底家王就私下向耶利米說、我指著那造我們生命之永生的耶和華起誓、我必不殺你、也不將你交在尋索你命的人手中。
- 耶利米對西底家說、耶和華萬軍之 神、以色列的 神如此說、你若出去歸降巴比倫王的首領、你的命就必存活、這城也不至被火焚燒.你和你的全家都必存活。
- 你若不出去歸降巴比倫王的首領、這城必交在迦勒底人手中.他們必用火焚燒、你也不得脫離他們的手。
- 西底家王對耶利米說、我怕那些投降迦勒底人的猶大人、恐怕迦勒底人將我交在他們手中、他們戲弄我。
- 耶利米說、迦勒底人必不將你交出。求你聽從我對你所說耶和華的話.這樣、你必得好處、你的命也必存活。

- So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
- 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:
- But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.
- And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.
- But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.
