So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovah liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
Þerfor Sedechie þe king swoor to Jeremye priueli, and seide, Þe Lord lyueth, þat maad to vs this soule, Y schal not sle þee, and Y schal not bitake þee in to þe hondis of þese men, þat seken thi lijf.
