ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૩૮:૧૮
પરંતુ જો તમે બાબિલના રાજાના અધિકારીઓનાં શરણે નહિ જાઓ, તો આ નગર ખાલદીઓની હાથમાં સોંપાશે. તેઓનું સૈન્ય આ નગરને આગ લગાડશે અને તમે તેઓના હાથમાંથી બચવા નહિ પામો.”
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ३८:१८
परन्तु, यदि तू बाबेल के राजा के हाकिमों के पास न निकल जाए, तो यह नगर कसदियों के वश में कर दिया जाएगा, ओर वे इसे फूँक देंगे, और तू उनके हाथ से बच न सकेगा।”

In context

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.”

20But Jeremiah said, “They won’t deliver you. Obey, I beg you, the LORD’s voice, in that which I speak to you; so it will be well with you, and your soul will live.
