21;
21 King Zedekiah then gave orders
for Jeremiah to be placed in the courtyard of the guard and given a loaf of
bread from the street of the bakers each day until all the bread in the city
was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard. (3)
138
16 Jeremiah
was put into a vaulted cell in a dungeon, where he remained a long time. (7)
17 Then King Zedekiah
sent for him and had him brought to the palace, where he asked him privately, “Is there any Word from the Lord?”
“Yes,” Jeremiah replied, “you will be delivered into the hands of the king of
Babylon.”
18 Then Jeremiah said
to King Zedekiah, “What crime have
I committed against you or your attendants or this people, that you have put me
in prison?
369
7 “This
is what the Lord, the God of
Israel, says: Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Me, ‘Pharaoh’s
army, which has marched out to support you, will go back to its own land, to
Egypt.
(7)
8 Then the
Babylonians will return and attack this city; they will capture it and burn it
down.’
9 “This is what the Lord says: Do
not deceive yourselves, thinking, ‘The Babylonians will surely leave us.’ They will not!
369
13 But
when he reached the Benjamin Gate, the captain of the guard, whose name was
Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, arrested him and said, “You are
deserting to the Babylonians!”
(4)
14 “That’s not true!” Jeremiah said. “I am not
deserting to the Babylonians.” But Irijah would not listen to
him; instead, he arrested Jeremiah and brought him to the officials.
15 They were angry
with Jeremiah and had him beaten and imprisoned in the house of Jonathan the
secretary, which they had made into a prison.
369
4 Now
Jeremiah was free to come and go among the people, for he had not yet been put
in prison. (4)
5 Pharaoh’s army had
marched out of Egypt, and when the Babylonians who were besieging Jerusalem heard the report
about them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
6 Then the word of
the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet:
369
19 Where
are your prophets who prophesied to you, ‘The king of Babylon will not attack
you or this land’? (1)
20 But now, my lord
the king, please listen. Let me bring my petition before you: Do not send me back to the
house of Jonathan the secretary, or I will die there.”
258
10 Even
if you were to defeat the entire Babylonian army that is attacking you and only wounded
men were left in their tents,
they would come out
and burn this city down.” (1)
11 After the
Babylonian army had withdrawn from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh’s army,
12 Jeremiah started to
leave the city to go to the territory of Benjamin to get his share of the
property among the people there.

Jeremiah in Prison
37 Zedekiah son of Josiah was made king of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon; he reigned in place of Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim. (1)
2 Neither he nor his attendants
nor the people of the land paid any attention to the Words the Lord
had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.
3 King Zedekiah,
however, sent Jehukal son of Shelemiah with the priest Zephaniah son of
Maaseiah to Jeremiah the prophet with this message: “Please pray to the Lord our God for us.”
