Jeremiah 37:15-21
15Then the officialsH8269 were 1angryH7107 at JeremiahH3414 and beatH5221 him, and they 2putH5414 him in jailH1004H612 in the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5613, which they had madeH6213 into the prisonH1004H3608. 16For JeremiahH3414 had comeH935 into the 34dungeonH1004H953, that is, the vaultedH2588 cellH2588; and JeremiahH3414 stayedH3427 thereH8033 manyH7227 daysH3117.
17Now KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 sentH7971 and tookH3947 him out; and in his palaceH1004 the kingH4428 5secretlyH5643 askedH7592 him and saidH559, “Is thereH3426 a 6wordH1697 from the LordH3068?” And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, “ThereH3426 is!” Then he saidH559, “You will be 7givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894!” 18Moreover JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667, “8In whatH4100 way have I sinnedH2398 against you, or against your servantsH5650, or against thisH2088 peopleH5971, that you have putH5414 me in prisonH1004H3608? 199WhereH346 then are your prophetsH5030 whoH834 prophesiedH5012 to you, sayingH559, ‘The 10kingH4428 of BabylonH894 will not comeH935 againstH5921 you or againstH5921 thisH2088 landH776’? 20But nowH6258, pleaseH4994 listenH8085, O my lordH113 the kingH4428; pleaseH4994 let my 11petitionH8467 12comeH5307 beforeH6440 you and do not make me returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5613, that I may not dieH4191 thereH8033.” 21Then KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 gaveH6680 commandmentH6680, and they committedH6485 JeremiahH3414 to the 13courtH2691 of the guardhouseH4307 and gaveH5414 him a loafH3603 of 14breadH3899 dailyH3117 from the bakers’H644 streetH2351, untilH5704 allH3605 the breadH3899 in the cityH5892 was 15goneH8552. So JeremiahH3414 remainedH3427 in the courtH2691 of the guardhouseH4307.
