But lacking faith and yielding to the fear of men, the king did not obey the voice of Jehovah, and Jehovah gave him no other reply that would be more to the king’s liking. ​ — Jeremiah 21: 1 - 12; 38: 14 - 19.
Taču aiz ticības trūkuma un bailēm no cilvēkiem ķēniņš nepaklausīja Jehovas balsij, un Jehova nedeva Cedekijam citu atbildi, kas tam būtu patikusi labāk. ( Jeremijas 21: 1 — 12; 38: 14 — 19.)
