The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: JER 38:17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the
God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto
the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city
shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:
JER 38:18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's
princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans,
and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their
hand.
JER 38:19 And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the
Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their
hand, and they mock me.
