“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:”
The word: '"Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, Thus says the LORD...If you will surrender to the officials of the king of Babylon, then your life shall be spared."' Jeremiah offers conditional mercy if the king surrenders. Obedience to the prophet's word offers the possibility of survival.
