Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.

The verse 26 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.

so sprich: Ich habe den König gebeten, daß er mich nicht wiederum ließe in des Jonathan Haus führen; ich möchte daselbst sterben.
Les dirás: Supliqué al rey que no me hiciese tornar a casa de Jonathán porque no me muriese allí.
les responderás: “Presentaba mi súplica ante el rey para que no me hiciera volver a la casa de Jonatán a morir allí”».
tu leur répondras: J'ai supplié le roi de ne pas me renvoyer dans la maison de Jonathan, de peur que je n'y meure.
Di’ loro: Io ho supplicato umilmente al re, che non mi facesse ritornar nella casa di Gionatan, per morir quivi.
Então lhes dirás: Eu lancei a minha súplica diante do rei, que não me fizesse tornar à casa de Jônatas, para morrer ali.
你就對他們說:『我在王面前懇求不要把我送回 約拿單 的房屋,免得我死在那裏。』」
