Jeremiah told the prophet that if at all he obeys the voice of the Lord.. it will be well with Him but if he doesn’t obey the voice of the Lord it won’t be well with Him Jeremiah 38:17-18[17]Then said Jeremiah to Zedekiah, Thus says the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel: If you will go forth and surrender to the princes of the king of Babylon, then you will live and this city will not be burned with fire; and you will live–you and your house.[18]But if you will not go forth and surrender to the princes of the king of Babylon, then this city will be given into the hands of the Chaldeans and they will burn it with fire; and you will not escape out of their hands.
