Jeremiah 38:4

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Then the officials said to the king, “This man ought to die, for he is discouraging the warriors who remain in this city, as well as all the people, by speaking such words to them; this man is not seeking the well-being of these people, but their ruin.”

World English Bible (WEB)

Then the princes said to the king, “Please let this man be put to death; because he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them: for this man doesn’t seek the welfare of this people, but the hurt.”

Strong's King James

Therefore the princes{H8269} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, We beseech thee, let this man{H376} be put to death{H4191}{(H8714)}: for thus{H3651} he weakeneth{H7503}{(H8764)} the hands{H3027} of the men{H582} of war{H4421} that remain{H7604}{(H8737)} in this city{H5892}, and the hands{H3027} of all the people{H5971}, in speaking{H1696}{(H8763)} such words{H1697} unto them: for this man{H376} seeketh{H1875}{(H8802)} not the welfare{H7965} of this people{H5971}, but the hurt{H7451}.

Young's Literal Translation

And the heads say unto the king, ‘Let, we pray thee, this man be put to death, because that he is making feeble the hands of the men of war, who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking unto them according to these words, for this man is not seeking for the peace of this people, but for its evil.’
