And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back.

The verse 22 is found in chapter 38 of Jeremiah. Zedekiah consults Jeremiah again in secret. The prophet gives one final instruction: surrendering to the Babylonians would preserve the city’s life, while resistance would lead to disaster. Zedekiah fears his own officials and does not obey. The episode shows how fear of people can prevent obedience to a clearly received word.

Y he aquí que todas las mujeres que han quedado en casa del rey de Judá, serán sacadas a los príncipes del rey de Babilonia; y ellas mismas dirán: Te han engañado, y prevalecido contra ti tus amigos; atollaron en el cieno tus pies, se volvieron atrás.
Todas las mujeres que quedan en el palacio del rey de Judá serán llevadas ante los jefes del rey de Babilonia, y ellas dirán: “Tus amigos de confianza te engañaron y te dominaron; cuando tus pies se hundieron en el lodo, ellos retrocedieron”.
Toutes les femmes qui restent dans la maison du roi de Juda seront menées aux chefs du roi de Babylone, et elles diront: Tu as été trompé, dominé, par ceux qui t'annonçaient la paix; et quand tes pieds sont enfoncés dans la boue, ils se retirent.
Ecco, tutte le donne ch’eran rimaste nella casa del re di Giuda, erano tratte fuori a’ capitani del re di Babilonia; ed esse dicevano: I tuoi confidenti ti han persuaso e vinto; i tuoi piedi sono stati fitti nel fango, ed essi si son tratti addietro.
Eis que todas as mulheres que ficaram na casa do rei de Judá serão levadas aos príncipes do rei de Babilônia, e elas mesmas dirão: Teus pacificadores te incitaram e prevaleceram contra ti, mas agora que se atolaram os teus pés na lama, voltaram atrás.
