“Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?”
Jeremiah's response: '"If I tell you, will you not surely put me to death? And if I give you counsel, you will not listen to me."' The prophet expresses legitimate fear based on prior experience. Fear of persecution is reasonable when one has been persecuted.
