Then said Zedekiah to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and you shall not die.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and tell you, Declare to us now what you have said to the king; don't hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also what the king said to you:

וּבָ֣אוּ (וּ) u. “and”וְֽאָמְר֪וּ (וְֽ) ve. “and”

then you shall tell them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.

וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ (וְ) ve. “and”
