Jeremiah 37:11-16

11Now it happened when the army of the Chaldeans had lifted the siege from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh’s army, 12that Jeremiah went out from Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin in order to 1take 2possession of some property there among the people. 13While he was at the 3Gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah the son of Hananiah was there; and he 4arrested Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are 5going over to the Chaldeans!” 14But Jeremiah said, “6A lie! I am not 7going over to the Chaldeans”; yet he would not listen to him. So Irijah arrested Jeremiah and brought him to the officials. 15Then the officials were 8angry at Jeremiah and beat him, and they 9put him in jail in the house of Jonathan the scribe, which they had made into the prison. 16For Jeremiah had come into the 10 11dungeon, that is, the vaulted cell; and Jeremiah stayed there many days.
