Jeremiah 37:17-20

17Now KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 sentH7971 and tookH3947 him out; and in his palaceH1004 the kingH4428 1secretlyH5643 askedH7592 him and saidH559, “Is thereH3426 a 2wordH1697 from the LordH3068?” And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, “ThereH3426 is!” Then he saidH559, “You will be 3givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894!”

18Moreover JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667, “4In whatH4100 way have I sinnedH2398 against you, or against your servantsH5650, or against thisH2088 peopleH5971, that you have putH5414 me in prisonH1004H3608?

195WhereH346 then are your prophetsH5030 whoH834 prophesiedH5012 to you, sayingH559, ‘The 6kingH4428 of BabylonH894 will not comeH935 againstH5921 you or againstH5921 thisH2088 landH776’?

20But nowH6258, pleaseH4994 listenH8085, O my lordH113 the kingH4428; pleaseH4994 let my 7petitionH8467 8comeH5307 beforeH6440 you and do not make me returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5613, that I may not dieH4191 thereH8033.”
