11 And it came to pass, when the army of the Chaldeans had gone up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
12 that Jeremiah went forth from Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to buy some property from there among the people.
13 And he was in the gate of Benjamin, and there was a man there with whom he lodged, Irajah the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he caught Jeremiah, saying, You are fleeing to the Chaldeans.
14 And he said, that's a lie! I do not flee to the Chaldeans! But he would not listen to him. So Irajah caught Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
15 And the princes were very angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and sent him into the house of Jonathan the scribe, for they had turned his house into a prison.
16 So Jeremiah came into the dungeon, and into the cells, and he remained there many days.
17 Then Zedekiah sent, and called him; and the king asked him secretly, saying, Is there a word from the Lord? And he said, There is. You shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon.
18 And Jeremiah said to the king, How have I wronged you, or your servants, or this people, that you have put me in prison?
19 And where are your prophets who prophesied to you saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against this land?
20 Now therefore, my lord the king, let my supplication come before your face; and why do you send me back to the house of Jonathan the scribe? And by no means let me die there.
21 Then the king commanded, and they cast him into the prison, and gave him a loaf a day out of the place where they bake, until the bread failed out of the city. So Jeremiah continued in the court of the prison.
