Send envoys, while there is yet time to save Jerusalem.
Zedekiah
Why should I be the one to propose a parley?
Blessed is he who first holds out his hand for peace. Blessed is the king who spares the blood of his people.
Zedekiah
What if I were to offer my hand, only to find the offer rejected?
Jeremiah
Blessed are they who are rejected for justice’ sake, for they are men after God’s heart.
Zedekiah
