17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “Thus says Yahweh (A)God of hosts, the (B)God of Israel, ‘If you will indeed (C)go out to the [a]officers of the king of Babylon, then [b]you will live, this city will not be burned with fire, and you and your household will live. 18 But if you will (D)not go out to the [c]officers of the king of Babylon, then this city (E)will be given over to the hand of the Chaldeans; and they will burn it with fire, and (F)you yourself will not escape from their hand.’” 19 Then King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I (G)am anxious because of the Jews who have [d](H)gone over to the Chaldeans, lest they give me over into their hand and they (I)deal severely with me.”

New International Version
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “This is what the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you surrender(A) to the officers of the king of Babylon, your life will be spared and this city will not be burned down; you and your family will live.(B) 18 But if you will not surrender to the officers of the king of Babylon, this city will be given into the hands(C) of the Babylonians and they will burn(D) it down; you yourself will not escape(E) from them.’”
19 King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid(F) of the Jews who have gone over(G) to the Babylonians, for the Babylonians may hand me over to them and they will mistreat me.”
