Jeremiah
Arrogant hast thou been towards him, therefore must thou accept arrogancy in return. Put compulsion on thy heart, so thou save Jerusalem from destruction.
Zedekiah
He asks my honor.
Jeremiah
Sacrifice thine honor for the city.
Zedekiah
Is not honor my office; is not pride my crown?
Jeremiah
If they be truly thine, cast them from thee. Peace is better than honor; suffering is better than death.
