8 “‘But concerning the bad figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten,+ this is what Jehovah says: “So I will regard King Zed·e·kiʹah+ of Judah, his princes, the remnant of Jerusalem who are left in this land, and those who are dwelling in the land of Egypt.+

21 And I will give King Zed·e·kiʹah of Judah and his princes into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those seeking to take their lives* and into the hand of the armies of the king of Babylon,+ who are withdrawing from against you.’+

17 Then King Zed·e·kiʹah sent for him, and the king secretly questioned him in his house.*+ He asked, “Is there any word from Jehovah?” Jeremiah said, “There is!” and he continued, “You will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon!”+

18 But if you will not surrender* to the princes of the king of Babylon, this city will be handed over to the Chal·deʹans, and they will burn it with fire,+ and you will not escape out of their hand.’”+
