20. “You will not be handed over to them,” Jeremiah answered. “I beg you! Please listen to the voice of the Lord regarding what I tell you so that it may go well with you and your life be spared.
21. But if you refuse to surrender, this is what the Lord has shown:
22. I see all the women who remain in the house of Judah’s king being brought out to the princes of Babylon’s king, and they are crying:‘They betrayed you, outdid you,your good friends!Now that your feet are sunk in mud,they slink away.’
23. All your wives and children shall be brought out to the Chaldeans, and you shall not escape their hands; you shall be handed over to the king of Babylon, and this city shall be destroyed by fire.”
