Jeremiah 38:16 hides a very special treasure in the Hebrew. The verse in the English reads:
So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, “As the LORD lives, who made our very souls, I will not put you to death, nor will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.” - Jer 38:16 NKJV

So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, “As YHVH ET (Yeshua) lives, who made our very souls, I will not put you to death, nor will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.” - Jer 38:16
The context of this verse reminds me of a verse in John, chapter 1:
May these treasures enrich your souls and bring you ever closer to our Messiah Yeshua. 💕
