Jeremiah 37:14-19
14But JeremiahH3414 saidH559, “1A 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 2angryH7107 at JeremiahH3414 and they beatH5221 him, and 3putH5414 him in prisonH1004H612 in the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5613, for they had madeH6213 it into the prisonH1004H3608. 16For JeremiahH3414 had comeH935 into the 45dungeonH1004H953, 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 6secretlyH5643 askedH7592 him and saidH559, “IsH3426 thereH3426 a 7wordH1697 from the LordH3068?” And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, “ThereH3426 isH3426!” Then he saidH559, “You will be 8handedH5414H3027 overH5414 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894!” 18Moreover, JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667, “9In whatH4100 way have I sinnedH2398 against you, or your servantsH5650, or thisH2088 peopleH5971, that you have putH5414 me in prisonH1004H3608? 19And 10whereH346 are your prophetsH5030 whoH834 prophesiedH5012 to you, sayingH559, ‘The 11kingH4428 of BabylonH894 will not comeH935 againstH5921 you or againstH5921 thisH2088 landH776’?
