हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ३८:१७
यिर्मयाह ने सिदकिय्याह से कहा, “सेनाओं का परमेश्वर यहोवा जो इस्राएल का परमेश्वर है, वह यह कहता है, यदि तू बाबेल के राजा के हाकिमों के पास सचमुच निकल जाए, तब तो तेरा प्राण बचेगा, और यह नगर फूँका न जाएगा, और तू अपने घराने समेत जीवित रहेगा।

In context

15Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? If I give you counsel, you will not listen to me.”

16So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, “As the LORD lives, who made our souls, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.”

17Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “The LORD, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you will go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your soul will live, and this city will not be burned with fire. You will live, along with your house.

18But if you will not go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then this city will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire, and you won’t escape out of their hand.’”

19Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have defected to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.”
