Jeremiah 38:20-22
Holman Christian Standard Bible
20 “They will not hand you over,” Jeremiah replied. “Obey the voice of the Lord in what I am telling you, so it may go well for you and you can live. 21 But if you refuse to surrender, this is the verdict[a] that the Lord has shown me: 22 ‘All the women[b] who remain in the palace of Judah’s king will be brought out to the officials of the king of Babylon and will say:
Your trusted friends[c] misled[d] you
and overcame you.
Your feet sank into the mire,
and they deserted you.
