24:038:012 And Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these
           old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the
           cords.  And Jeremiah did so.

24:038:013 So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of
           the dungeon:  and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

24:038:014 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet
           unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the
           lord:  and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a
           thing; hide nothing from me.

24:038:015 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee,
           wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee
           counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?

24:038:016 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.

24:038:017 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: 

24:038:018 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.

24:038:019 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.

24:038:020 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.

24:038:021 But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the lord
           hath shewed me: 

24:038:022 And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of
           Judah’s house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon’s
           princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set thee
           on, and have prevailed against thee:  thy feet are sunk in the
           mire, and they are turned away back.

24:038:023 So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the
           Chaldeans:  and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but
           shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon:  and thou
           shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.
