The siege will last as long as God pleases, and we shall last as long as the siege.
Zedekiah
May the Lord fulfil thy words. [To the others] Are ye all of the same opinion?
Pashur
We must be steadfast, enduring patiently until the end.
Zedekiah
What sayest thou, Hananiah?
Hananiah
Never shall Nebuchadnezzar overthrow us. Woe unto all faint-hearts. Did it rest with me, I would put them to the sword.
