Jeremiah 37:16-21

« Jer 36Jer 37Jer 38 »

16 For Jeremiah had come into the ¹^apit, that is, the vaulted cell; and Jeremiah stayed there many days.
17 Then King Zedekiah sent and took him out; and in his palace the king ^asecretly asked him and said, “Is there a ^bword from Yahweh?” And Jeremiah said, “There is!” Then he said, “You will be ^cgiven into the hand of the king of Babylon!” 18 Moreover, Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “^aIn what way have I sinned against you or against your servants or against this people, that you have put me in prison? 19 ^aWhere then are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The ^bking of Babylon will not come against you or against this land’? 20 But now, please listen, O my lord the king; please let my ^asupplication ¹come before you, and do not make me return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, that I may not die there.” 21 Then King Zedekiah gave commandment, and they committed Jeremiah to the ^acourt of the guard and gave him a loaf of ^bbread daily from the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city had ^ccome to an end. So Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
