Jeremiah 38:24-26

Living Bible

²⁴ Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “On pain of death, don’t tell anyone you told me this! ²⁵ And if my officials hear that I talked with you and they threaten you with death unless you tell them what we discussed, ²⁶ just say that you begged me not to send you back to the dungeon in Jonathan’s house, for you would die there.”
