16 So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD 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.
16 Basi Sedekia mfalme akamwapia Yeremia kwa siri, akisema, Kama Bwana aishivyo, yeye aliyetufanyia roho zetu, sitakuua, wala sitakutia katika mikono ya watu hao wanaokutafuta wakuue.
