Jeremiah 38:3-5

New American Standard Bible

³ This is what the Lord says: ‘This city will certainly be ^(A)handed over to the army of the king of Babylon and he will capture it.’” ⁴ Then the ^(B)officials said to the king, “Please have this man put to death, since he is ^[a](C)discouraging the men of war who are left in this city and ^[b]all the people, by speaking words like these to them; for this man ^(D)is not seeking the well-being of this people, but rather their harm.” ⁵ And King Zedekiah said, “Behold, he is in your ^[c]hands; for the king ^(E)can do nothing against you.”
