Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.

The verse 17 is found in chapter 37 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah attempts to leave Jerusalem and is accused of defecting. He is beaten and imprisoned, but Zedekiah consults him secretly. The answer remains firm: the king will be handed over to Babylon. Despite the hostility, Jeremiah requests decent treatment and receives some protection, showing the political complexity of the kingdom’s final days.

Und Zedekia, der König, sandte hin und ließ ihn holen und fragte ihn heimlich in seinem Hause und sprach: Ist auch ein Wort vom HERRN vorhanden? Jeremia sprach: Ja; denn du wirst dem König zu Babel in die Hände gegeben werden.
El rey Sedechîas envió, y sacole; y preguntole el rey escondidamente en su casa, y dijo: ¿Hay palabra de Jehová? Y Jeremías dijo: Hay. Y dijo más: En mano del rey de Babilonia serás entregado.
El rey Sedequías mandó sacarlo y, en secreto, le preguntó en su palacio: «¿Hay alguna palabra de parte de Jehová?». Jeremías respondió: «Sí, la hay». Y añadió: «Serás entregado en manos del rey de Babilonia».
Le roi Sédécias l'envoya chercher, et l'interrogea secrètement dans sa maison. Il dit: Y a-t-il une parole de la part de l'Eternel? Jérémie répondit: Oui. Et il ajouta: Tu seras livré entre les mains du roi de Babylone.
Poi il re Sedechia mandò a farlo trare di là: e il re lo domandò in casa sua di nascosto, e disse: Evvi alcuna parola da parte del Signore? E Geremia disse: Sì, ve n’è. Poi disse: Tu sarai dato in mano del re di Babilonia.
E mandou o rei Zedequias soltá-lo; e o rei lhe perguntou em sua casa, em segredo: Há porventura alguma palavra do SENHOR? E disse Jeremias: Há. E disse ainda: Na mão do rei de Babilônia serás entregue.
西底家 王差人提他出來,在自己的宮內私下問他說:「有甚麼話從耶和華臨到沒有?」 耶利米 說:「有!」又說:「你必被交在 巴比倫 王手中。」
