Jeremiah 38:24

Context

38:24 Then Zedekiah told Jeremiah, “Do not let anyone know about the conversation we have had. 1  If you do, you will die. 2 

1 tn Heb “about these words.”

2 tn Or “so that you will not die.” Or “or you will die.” See the similar construction in 37:20 and the translator’s note there.

sn This is probably not a threat that the king himself will kill Jeremiah, but a premonition that if the pro-Egyptian party that was seeking to kill Jeremiah found out about the conversation they would go ahead and kill Jeremiah (cf. 38:2-4).
