I told you I didn't want to do this.

Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? and if I give you counsel, you will not listen to me.

Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?

therefore I have declared it to you from of old before it came to pass I showed it to you lest you should say, 'My idol has done them, and my engraved image, and my molten image, has commanded them.'

I have even from the beginning declared it to thee before it came to pass I shewed it thee lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
