 38:21 But ifº thouº refuseº to go forth,ºº thisº [is] the wordº thatº Yähwè יָהוֶהº hath shewedºº me:

 38:21 But if thou refuse to go forth, this [is] the word that Yahweh hath shewed me:

 38:22 And, behold,º allº the womenº thatº are leftºº in the kingº of Yæhûðà's יְהוּדָהº houseº [shall be] brought forthºº toº the kingº of Bävel's בָּבֶלº princes,º and thoseº [women] shall say,ºº Thy friendsººº have setº thee on,ºº and have prevailedºº against thee: thy feetº are sunkºº in the mire,º [and] they are turned awayºº back.º

 38:22 And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Yehudah's house [shall be] brought forth to the king of Bavel's princes, and those [women] shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, [and] they are turned away back.

 38:23 So they shall bring outºº allº thy wivesº and thy childrenº toº the Ca$dîm כַּשׂדִּים:º and thouº shalt notº escapeº outºº of their hand,ºº butº shalt be takenºº by the handº of the kingº of Bävel בָּבֶל:º and thou shalt cause thisº cityº to be burnedºº with fire.º

 38:23 So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Kasdim: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Bavel: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.

 38:24 ¶ Then saidºº Xiðkiyyà צִדקִיָּהº untoº Yirmæyà יִרמְיָה,º Let noº manº knowºº of theseº words,º and thou shalt notº die.ºº

 38:24 ¶ Then said Tzidqiyyah unto Yirmeyah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.

 38:25 But ifº the princesº hearºº thatº I have talkedºº withº thee, and they comeºº untoº thee, and sayºº untoº thee, Declareºº unto us nowº whatº thou hast saidºº untoº the king,º hideºº it notº fromº us, and we will notº put thee to death;ºº also whatº the kingº saidºº untoº thee:

 38:25 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:

 38:26 Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Yehonathan's house, to die there.

 38:27 Then cameºº allº the princesº untoº Yirmæyà יִרמְיָה,º and askedºº him: and he toldºº them according to allº theseº wordsº thatº the kingº had commanded.ºº So they left off speakingºº withº him; forº the matterº was notº perceived.ºº

 38:27 Then came all the princes unto Yirmeyah, 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 perceived.

 38:28 So Yirmæyà יִרמְיָהº abodeºº in the courtº of the prisonº untilº the dayº thatº Yærûšälaim יְרוּשָׁלִַםº was taken:ºº and he wasº [there] whenº Yærûšälaim יְרוּשָׁלִַםº was taken.ºº
