Jeremiah 37

1And kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 reignedH4427 instead of Coniah the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079, Nebuchadrezzar kingH4428 of BabylonH894 having made him kingH4428 in the landH776 of JudahH3063. 2And neither he, nor his servantsH5650, nor the peopleH5971 of the landH776, hearkened unto the wordsH1697 of Jehovah, which he had spokenH1696 through the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414. 3And ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 sentH7971 Jehucal the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, and ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641 the priestH3548 to the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, PrayH6419 now unto Jehovah our 1GodH430 for us. 4And JeremiahH3414 cameH935 in and wentH3318 out among the peopleH5971; for they had not putH5414 him into prison. 5And Pharaoh's armyH2428 was comeH5927 forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714; and when the ChaldeansH3778 that besieged JerusalemH3389 heardH8085 tidings of them, they wentH3318 up from JerusalemH3389. 6And the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, 7ThusH3541 saith Jehovah the 2GodH430 of IsraelH3478: ThusH3541 shall ye sayH559 to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that sentH7971 you unto me to inquire of me: Behold, Pharaoh's armyH2428, which is comeH3318 forthH3318 to helpH5833 you, shall returnH7725 to EgyptH4714 into their own landH776. 8And the ChaldeansH3778 shall come again, and fightH3898 against this cityH5892, and take it, and burnH8313 it with fireH784. 9ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: DeceiveH5377 not yourselves, sayingH559, The ChaldeansH3778 are certainly goneH1980 away from us; for they are not goneH1980. 10For though ye had smitten the whole armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 that fightH3898 against you, and there remainedH7604 [but] woundedH5221 menH376 among them, [yet] should they riseH6965 up every manH376 in his tentH168, and burnH8313 this cityH5892 with fireH784. 11And it came to pass when the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 wasH1961 goneH5927 up from JerusalemH3389 because of Pharaoh's armyH2428, 12that JeremiahH3414 wentH3318 forthH3318 out of JerusalemH3389 to goH3318 into the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, to have his portion there among the peopleH5971. 13And when he was in the gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144, a captain of the guard was there whose nameH8034 was IrijahH3376, the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, the sonH1121 of HananiahH2608; and he laid hold on the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, Thou art deserting to the ChaldeansH3778. 14And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, It is false: I am not deserting to the ChaldeansH3778. But he hearkened not to him; and IrijahH3376 laid hold on JeremiahH3414, and broughtH935 him to the princesH8269. 15And the princesH8269 were wroth with JeremiahH3414, and smote him, and putH5414 him in the place of confinement in the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5608: for they had madeH6213 that the prison. 16When JeremiahH3414 was comeH935 into the dungeon and into the vaults, and JeremiahH3414 had remainedH3427 there manyH7227 daysH3117, 17kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 sentH7971 and tookH3947 him out. And the kingH4428 askedH7592 of him secretly in his houseH1004, and saidH559, Is there any wordH1697 from Jehovah? And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, There is; and he saidH559, Thou shalt be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894. 18And JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servantsH5650, or against this peopleH5971, that ye have putH5414 me in the prison? 19And whereH834 are your prophetsH5030 that prophesiedH5012 unto you, sayingH559, The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall not comeH935 against you, nor against this landH776? 20And nowH6258 hearH8085, I pray thee, my lordH113, O kingH4428: let my supplicationH8467, I pray thee, come before thee; and cause me not to returnH7725 into the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5608, lest I dieH4191 there. 21Then ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 commandedH6680, and they committed JeremiahH3414 into the courtH2691 of the guardH4307, and they gaveH5414 him daily a loafH3603 of breadH3899 out of the bakers' streetH2351, until all the breadH3899 in the cityH5892 was spent. And JeremiahH3414 abode in the courtH2691 of the guardH4307.
