1 H4428 And king H6667 Zedekiah H1121 the son H2977 of Josiah H4427 reigned H3659 instead of Coniah H1121 the son H3079 of Jehoiakim, H5019 whom Nebuchadrezzar H4428 king H894 of Babylon H4427 made king H776 in the land H3063 of Judah.

2 H5650 But neither he, nor his servants, H5971 nor the people H776 of the land, H8085 did listen H1697 unto the words H3068 of the Lord, H1696 which he spoke H3027 by H5030 the prophet H3414 Jeremiah.

3 H6667 And Zedekiah H4428 the king H7971 sent H3081 Jehucal H1121 the son H8018 of Shelemiah H6846 and Zephaniah H1121 the son H4641 of Maaseiah H3548 the priest H5030 to the prophet H3414 Jeremiah, H559 saying, H6419 Pray H3068 now unto the Lord H430 our God for us.

4 H3414 Now Jeremiah H935 came in H3318 and went out H8432 among H5971 the people: H5414 for they had not put H1004 him into prison.

5 H6547 Then Pharaoh's H2428 army H3318 was come forth H4714 out of Egypt: H3778 and when the Chaldeans H6696 that besieged H3389 Jerusalem H8085 heard H8088 news H5927 of them, they departed H3389 from Jerusalem.

6 H1697 Then came the word H3068 of the Lord H5030 unto the prophet H3414 Jeremiah, H559 saying,

7 H559 Thus says H3068 the Lord, H430 the God H3478 of Israel; H559 Thus shall you say H4428 to the king H3063 of Judah, H7971 that sent H1875 you unto me to inquire H6547 of me; Behold, Pharaoh's H2428 army, H3318 which is come forth H5833 to help H7725 you, shall return H4714 to Egypt H776 into their own land.

8 H3778 And the Chaldeans H7725 shall come again, H3898 and fight H5892 against this city, H3920 and take H8313 it, and burn H784 it with fire.

9 H559 Thus says H3068 the Lord; H5377 Deceive H5315 not yourselves, H559 saying, H3778 The Chaldeans H1980 shall surely H3212 depart H3212 from us: for they shall not depart.

10 H5221 For though you had struck H2428 the whole army H3778 of the Chaldeans H3898 that fight H7604 against you, and there remained H1856 but wounded H582 men H6965 among them, yet should they rise up H376 every man H168 in his tent, H8313 and burn H5892 this city H784 with fire.

11 H2428 And it came to pass, that when the army H3778 of the Chaldeans H5927 was broken up H3389 from Jerusalem H6440 for fear H6547 of Pharaoh's H2428 army,

12 H3414 Then Jeremiah H3318 went forth H3389 out of Jerusalem H3212 to go H776 into the land H1144 of Benjamin, H2505 to separate H8432 himself there in the midst H5971 of the people.

13 H8179 And when he was in the gate H1144 of Benjamin, H1167 a captain H6488 of the custody H8034 was there, whose name H3376 was Irijah, H1121 the son H8018 of Shelemiah, H1121 the son H2608 of Hananiah; H8610 and he took H3414 Jeremiah H5030 the prophet, H559 saying, H5307 You fall away H3778 to the Chaldeans.

14 H559 Then said H3414 Jeremiah, H8267 It is false; H5307 I fall not away H3778 to the Chaldeans. H8085 But he listened H3376 not to him: so Irijah H8610 took H3414 Jeremiah, H935 and brought H8269 him to the princes.

15 H8269 Therefore the princes H7107 were angry H3414 with Jeremiah, H5221 and struck H5414 him, and put H612 him in prison H1004 in the house H3083 of Jonathan H5608 the scribe: H6213 for they had made H3608 that the prison.

16 H3414 When Jeremiah H935 was entered H1004 into the dungeon, H2588 and into the cabins, H3414 and Jeremiah H3427 had remained H7227 there many H3117 days;

17 H6667 Then Zedekiah H4428 the king H7971 sent, H3947 and took him out: H4428 and the king H7592 asked H5643 him secretly H1004 in his house, H559 and said, H1697 Is there any word H3068 from the Lord? H3414 And Jeremiah H559 said, H3426 There is: H559 for, said H5414 he, you shall be delivered H3027 into the hand H4428 of the king H894 of Babylon.

18 H3414 Moreover Jeremiah H559 said H4428 unto king H6667 Zedekiah, H2398 What have I offended H5650 against you, or against your servants, H5971 or against this people, H5414 that you have put H1004 me in prison?

19 H346 Where are now H5030 your prophets H5012 which prophesied H559 unto you, saying, H4428 The king H894 of Babylon H935 shall not come H776 against you, nor against this land?

20 H8085 Therefore hear H113 now, I pray you, O my lord H4428 the king: H8467 let my supplication, H5307 I pray you, be accepted H6440 before H7725 you; that you cause me not to return H1004 to the house H3083 of Jonathan H5608 the scribe, H4191 lest I die there.

21 H6667 Then Zedekiah H4428 the king H6680 commanded H6485 that they should commit H3414 Jeremiah H2691 into the court H4307 of the prison, H5414 and that they should give H3117 him daily H3603 a piece H3899 of bread H644 out of the bakers' H2351 street, H3899 until all the bread H5892 in the city H8552 were spent. H3414 Thus Jeremiah H3427 remained H2691 in the court H4307 of the prison.
