KJV - Jeremiah 38:4
Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
So the leaders told the king, "Please, let this man be killed. He weakens the soldiers still in the city and all the people by what he says. He doesn't want to help our people; instead, he causes harm."
