Amos 8:11
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find.


Jer 38:1 Then Shephatiah [08203] the son [01121] of Mattan [04977], and Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Pashur [06583], and Jucal [03116] the son [01121] of Shelemiah [08018], and Pashur [06583] the son [01121] of Malchiah [04441], heard [08085] (8799) the words [01697] that Jeremiah [03414] had spoken [01696] (8764) unto all the people [05971], saying [0559] (8800),

Jer 38:3 Thus saith [0559] (8804) the LORD [03068], This city [05892] shall surely [05414] (8736) be given [05414] (8735) into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] army [02428], which shall take [03920] (8804) it.

Jer 38:12 And Ebedmelech [05663] the Ethiopian [03569] said [0559] (8799) unto Jeremiah [03414], Put [07760] (8798) now [these] old [01094] cast clouts [05499] and rotten rags [04418] under thine armholes [0679] [03027] under the cords [02256]. And Jeremiah [03414] did [06213] (8799) so.
Jer 38:13 So they drew up [04900] (8799) Jeremiah [03414] with cords [02256], and took him up [05927] (8686) out of the dungeon [0953]: and Jeremiah [03414] remained [03427] (8799) in the court [02691] of the prison [04307].
Jer 38:14 Then Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] sent [07971] (8799), and took [03947] (8799) Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] unto him into the third [07992] entry [03996] that is in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: and the king [04428] said [0559] (8799) unto Jeremiah [03414], I will ask [07592] (8802) thee a thing [01697]; hide [03582] (8762) nothing from me.
Jer 38:15 Then Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] (8799) unto Zedekiah [06667], If I declare [05046] (8686) [it] unto thee, wilt thou not surely [04191] (8687) put me to death [04191] (8686)? and if I give thee counsel [03289] (8799), wilt thou not hearken [08085] (8799) unto me?

Jer 38:17 Then said [0559] (8799) Jeremiah [03414] unto Zedekiah [06667], Thus saith [0559] (8804) the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; If thou wilt assuredly [03318] (8800) go forth [03318] (8799) unto the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] princes [08269], then thy soul [05315] shall live [02421] (8804), and this city [05892] shall not be burned [08313] (8735) with fire [0784]; and thou shalt live [02421] (8804), and thine house [01004]:
Jer 38:18 But if thou wilt not go forth [03318] (8799) to the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] princes [08269], then shall this city [05892] be given [05414] (8738) into the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778], and they shall burn [08313] (8804) it with fire [0784], and thou shalt not escape out [04422] (8735) of their hand [03027].
Jer 38:19 And Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] said [0559] (8799) unto Jeremiah [03414], I am afraid [01672] (8802) of the Jews [03064] that are fallen [05307] (8804) to the Chaldeans [03778], lest they deliver [05414] (8799) me into their hand [03027], and they mock [05953] (8694) me.
Jer 38:20 But Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] (8799), They shall not deliver [05414] (8799) [thee]. Obey [08085] (8798), I beseech thee, the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068], which I speak [01696] (8802) unto thee: so it shall be well [03190] (8799) unto thee, and thy soul [05315] shall live [02421] (8799).
Jer 38:21 But if thou refuse [03986] to go forth [03318] (8800), this is the word [01697] that the LORD [03068] hath shewed [07200] (8689) me:
Jer 38:22 And, behold, all the women [0802] that are left [07604] (8738) in the king [04428] of Judah's [03063] house [01004] shall be brought forth [03318] (8716) to the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] princes [08269], and those [women] shall say [0559] (8802), Thy friends [0582] [07965] have set thee on [05496] (8689), and have prevailed [03201] (8804) against thee: thy feet [07272] are sunk [02883] (8717) in the mire [01206], and they are turned away [05472] (8738) back [0268].
Jer 38:23 So they shall bring out [03318] (8688) all thy wives [0802] and thy children [01121] to the Chaldeans [03778]: and thou shalt not escape out [04422] (8735) of their hand [03027], but shalt be taken [08610] (8735) by the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]: and thou shalt cause this city [05892] to be burned [08313] (8799) with fire [0784].
Jer 38:24 Then said [0559] (8799) Zedekiah [06667] unto Jeremiah [03414], Let no man [0376] know [03045] (8799) of these words [01697], and thou shalt not die [04191] (8799).
Jer 38:25 But if the princes [08269] hear [08085] (8799) that I have talked [01696] (8765) with thee, and they come [0935] (8804) unto thee, and say [0559] (8804) unto thee, Declare [05046] (8685) unto us now what thou hast said [01696] (8765) unto the king [04428], hide [03582] (8762) it not from us, and we will not put thee to death [04191] (8686); also what the king [04428] said [01696] (8765) unto thee:
Jer 38:26 Then thou shalt say [0559] (8804) unto them, I presented [05307] (8688) my supplication [08467] before [06440] the king [04428], that he would not cause me to return [07725] (8687) to Jonathan's [03083] house [01004], to die [04191] (8800) there.
Jer 38:27 Then came [0935] (8799) all the princes [08269] unto Jeremiah [03414], and asked [07592] (8799) him: and he told [05046] (8686) them according to all these words [01697] that the king [04428] had commanded [06680] (8765).

Jer 38:28 So Jeremiah [03414] abode [03427] (8799) in the court [02691] of the prison [04307] until the day [03117] that Jerusalem [03389] was taken [03920] (8738): and he was [there] when Jerusalem [03389] was taken [03920] (8738).
