Jeremiah 37:12-21

12that JeremiahH3414 leftH3318 JerusalemH3389 to goH1980 to the landH776 of BenjaminH1144 in order to 1takeH2505 2possessionH2505 ofH2505 some propertyH2505 thereH4480H8033 amongH8432 the peopleH5971. 13While he was at the 3GateH8179 of BenjaminH1144, a captainH1167 of the guardH6488 whose nameH8034 was IrijahH3376, the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018 the sonH1121 of HananiahH2608 was thereH8033; and he 4arrestedH8610 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, “You are desertingH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778!” 14But JeremiahH3414 saidH559, “5A lieH8267! I am not desertingH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778”; yet he would not listenH8085 to him. So IrijahH3376 arrestedH8610 JeremiahH3414 and broughtH935 him to the officialsH8269. 15Then the officialsH8269 wereH7107 6angryH7107 at JeremiahH3414 and they beatH5221 him, and 7putH5414 him in prisonH1004H612 in the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5613, for they had madeH6213 it into the prisonH1004H3608. 16For JeremiahH3414 had comeH935 into the 89dungeonH1004H953, that is, the vaultedH2588 cellH2588; and JeremiahH3414 stayedH3427 thereH8033 manyH7227 daysH3117.

17Now KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 sentH7971 men and tookH3947 him out; and in his palaceH1004 the kingH4428 10secretlyH5643 askedH7592 him and saidH559, “IsH3426 thereH3426 a 11wordH1697 from the LordH3068?” And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, “ThereH3426 isH3426!” Then he saidH559, “You will be 12handedH5414H3027 overH5414 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894!” 18Moreover, JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667, “13In whatH4100 way have I sinnedH2398 against you, or your servantsH5650, or thisH2088 peopleH5971, that you have putH5414 me in prisonH1004H3608? 19And 14whereH346 are your prophetsH5030 whoH834 prophesiedH5012 to you, sayingH559, ‘The 15kingH4428 of BabylonH894 will not comeH935 againstH5921 you or againstH5921 thisH2088 landH776’? 20But nowH6258, pleaseH4994 listenH8085, my lordH113 the kingH4428; pleaseH4994 let my 16pleaH8467 17comeH5307 beforeH6440 you and do not make me returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5613, so that I will not dieH4191 thereH8033.” 21Then KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 gaveH6680 aH6680 commandH6680, and they placedH6485 JeremiahH3414 inH6485 custodyH6485 in the 18courtyardH2691 of the guardhouseH4307, and gaveH5414 him a loafH3603 of 19breadH3899 dailyH3117 from the bakers’H644 streetH2351, untilH5704 allH3605 the breadH3899 in the cityH5892 was 20goneH8552. So JeremiahH3414 remainedH3427 in the courtyardH2691 of the guardhouseH4307.
