Jeremiah 38:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Thus saith the Lord: This city shall surely be delivered into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.

⁴ And the princes said to the king: We beseech thee that this man may be put to death: for on purpose he weakeneth the hands of the men of war, that remain in this city, and the hands of the people, speaking to them according to these words: for this man seeketh not peace to this people, but evil.

⁵ And king Sedecias said: Behold he is in your hands: for it is not lawful for the king to deny you any thing.
