Contextual Overview
14 Tzidkiyahu summoned and had Yirmeyahu brought to him through the third entry in the house of Adonai . Then the king said to Yirmeyahu, "I want to ask you something; don't hide anything from me." 15 Yirmeyahu said to Tzidkiyahu, "If I do say it to you, won't you have me put to death? And if I give you counsel, you won't listen to me." 16 So Tzidkiyahu swore secretly to Yirmeyahu, "As Adonai lives, who gave us our lives, I will not put you to death; nor will I hand you over to these men who want you put to death." 17 Then Yirmeyahu said to Tzidkiyahu, "Here is what Adonai -Tzva'ot, the God of Isra'el, says: ‘If you will go out and surrender to the king of Bavel's officers, then you will stay alive — this city will not be burned down; and you and your family will live. 18 But if you will not go out to the king of Bavel's officers, then this city will be handed over to the Kasdim; they will burn it to the ground; and you will not escape from them.'" 19 Tzidkiyahu the king said to Yirmeyahu, "I am afraid of the Judeans who deserted to the Kasdim. The Kasdim might hand me over to them, and they would mistreat me." 20 Yirmeyahu answered, "They won't hand you over. I beg you, listen to the voice of Adonai concerning what I'm telling you about; then it will go well with you, and you will live. 21 But if you refuse to surrender, then this is the word Adonai has shown me: 22 all the women remaining in the king of Y'hudah's palace will be brought out to the king of Bavel's officers, and those women will taunt you: ‘Your own close friends misled you and took advantage of you. Now that your feet are stuck in the mud, they have abandoned you.' 23 They will bring all your women and children out to the Kasdim, and you will not escape from them. Rather, you will be captured by the king of Bavel, and you will cause this city to be burned to the ground."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes,.... And surrender to them:
then shall this city be given into the hands of the Chaldeans; if not willingly delivered up by the king of Judah, it shall be forcibly taken by the king of Babylon's army, through the permission of God; with respect to whom it is said to be given unto them, even by him who has the disposing of cities and kingdoms:
and they shall burn it with fire; as it had been often foretold it should, and as it accordingly was, Jeremiah 39:8;
and thou shalt not escape out of their hand; though he might hope he should, and would attempt to do it, yet should be taken; and though he should not be slain, yet should never regain his liberty, or get out of their hands, when once in them; see Jeremiah 52:7.
