Did Jeremiah lie in Jeremiah 38:27

Is Jeremiah lying here? I know that Jeremiah had previously discussed not being sent back to Jonathan's house in Jeremiah 37:20, but that is not the conversation that the officials seem to be asking about in Jeremiah 38:24-27. Jeremiah 38:24-27 (NET): > Then Zedekiah told Jeremiah, “Do not let anyone know about the > conversation we have had. If you do, you will die. 25 The officials > may hear that I have talked with you. They may come to you and say, > ‘Tell us what you said to the king and what the king said to you. Do > not hide anything from us. If you do, we will kill you.’ 26 If they do > this, tell them, ‘I was pleading with the king not to send me back to > die in the dungeon of Jonathan’s house.’” 27 All the officials did > indeed come and question Jeremiah. He told them exactly what the king > had instructed him to say.
