Jeremiah 37:16-21

16SoH3588 JeremiahH3414 wentH935 intoH413 a cellH1004H953 inH413 the dungeonH2588 and remainedH3427 thereH8033H3414 a long timeH7227H3117.

17Later, KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 sent forH7971 Jeremiah and received himH3947 in his palaceH1004, where he asked himH7592 privatelyH5643, “Is thereH3426 a wordH1697 from the LORDH3068?”

“There isH3426H559,” JeremiahH3414 repliedH559. “You will be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.”

18Then JeremiahH3414 askedH559H413 KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667, “HowH4100 have I sinnedH2398 against you or your servantsH5650 or theseH2088 peopleH5971, thatH3588 you have putH5414 meH853 inH413 prisonH1004H3608? 19WhereH335 are your prophetsH5030 whoH834 prophesiedH5012 to you, claimingH559, ‘The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 will notH3808 comeH935 against youH5921 or thisH2063 landH776’? 20But nowH6258 pleaseH4994 listenH8085, O my lordH113 the kingH4428. May my petitionH8467 comeH5307H4994 before youH6440. Do notH408 send me backH7725 to the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5608, orH3808 I will dieH4191 thereH8033.”

21So KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 gave ordersH6680 for JeremiahH3414 to be placedH6485 in the courtyardH2691 of the guardH4307 and givenH5414 a loafH3603 of breadH3899 dailyH3117 fromH4480 the streetH2351 of the bakersH644, untilH5704 allH3605 the breadH3899 in the cityH5892 was goneH8552. So JeremiahH3414 remainedH3427 in the courtyardH2691 of the guardH4307.
