| wilt thou not hearken unto me--Zedekiah does not answer this last query; the former one he replies to in Jer 38:16. Rather translate, "Thou wilt not hearken to me." Jeremiah judges so from the past conduct of the king. Compare Jer 38:17 with Jer 38:19. |

| Wilt thou not hearken ...! - Rather, Thou wilt not hearken. |
19 And Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] said [0559] unto Jeremiah [03414], I am afraid [01672] of the Jews [03064] that are fallen [05307] to the Chaldeans [03778], lest they deliver [05414] me into their hand [03027], and they mock [05953] me.
17 Then said [0559] Jeremiah [03414] unto Zedekiah [06667], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; If thou wilt assuredly [03318] go forth [03318] unto the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] princes [08269], then thy soul [05315] shall live [02421], and this city [05892] shall not be burned [08313] with fire [0784]; and thou shalt live [02421], and thine house [01004]:
16 So Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] sware [07650] secretly [05643] unto Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], that made [06213] us this soul [05315], I will not put thee to death [04191], neither will I give [05414] thee into the hand [03027] of these men [0582] that seek [01245] thy life [05315].
