וְאֶת־כָּל־נָשֶׁיךָ וְאֶת־בָּנֶיךָ מֽוֹצִאִים אֶל־הַכַּשְׂדִּים וְאַתָּה לֹא־תִמָּלֵט מִיָּדָם כִּי בְיַד מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶל תִּתָּפֵשׂ וְאֶת־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת תִּשְׂרֹף בָּאֵֽשׁ
And 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.’
וַיֹּאמֶר צִדְקִיָּהוּ אֶֽל־יִרְמְיָהוּ אִישׁ אַל־יֵדַע בַּדְּבָֽרִים־הָאֵלֶּה וְלֹא תָמֽוּת
Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah: ‘Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
וְכִֽי־יִשְׁמְעוּ הַשָּׂרִים כִּֽי־דִבַּרְתִּי אִתָּךְ וּבָאוּ אֵלֶיךָ וְֽאָמְרוּ אֵלֶיךָ הַגִּֽידָה־נָּא לָנוּ מַה־דִּבַּרְתָּ אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ אַל־תְּכַחֵד מִמֶּנּוּ וְלֹא נְמִיתֶךָ וּמַה־דִּבֶּר אֵלֶיךָ הַמֶּֽלֶךְ
But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee: Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king; hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee;
וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם מַפִּיל־אֲנִי תְחִנָּתִי לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ לְבִלְתִּי הֲשִׁיבֵנִי בֵּית יְהוֹנָתָן לָמוּת שָֽׁם
then thou shalt say unto them: I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.’
וַיָּבֹאוּ כָל־הַשָּׂרִים אֶֽל־יִרְמְיָהוּ וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ אֹתוֹ וַיַּגֵּד לָהֶם כְּכָל־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיַּחֲרִשׁוּ מִמֶּנּוּ כִּי לֹֽא־נִשְׁמַע הַדָּבָֽר
Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not reported.
