Jeremiah 37:17-20

17Then King Zedekiah told his officers to bring Jeremiah to the palace. When they were alone, the king asked him, ‘Do you have any message for me from the Lord?’ Jeremiah replied, ‘Yes, there is a message. Soldiers will put you under the power of the king of Babylon.’

18Then Jeremiah asked King Zedekiah, ‘Why have your officers put me in prison? Do I deserve that? Have I done something bad against you, your officers or the people of Judah?

19Your own prophets said that the king of Babylon would not attack you or the land of Judah. That was a lie, so what have you done to them?

20Please help me now, my master, the king. Do not send me back to the house of your secretary Jonathan. If you do that, I will die there.’
