So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovah liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.

So King Zedekiah gave his oath to Jeremiah secretly, saying, By the living Lord, who gave us our life, I will not put you to death, or give you up to these men who are desiring to take your life.

Και ωμοσε κρυφιως Σεδεκιας ο βασιλευς προς τον Ιερεμιαν, λεγων, Ζη Κυριος, οστις εκαμεν εις ημας την ψυχην ταυτην, δεν θελω σε θανατωσει ουδε θελω σε δωσει εις την χειρα των ανθρωπων τουτων, οιτινες ζητουσι την ψυχην σου.

So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the Lord liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
