Jeremiah 37:17-21 then sent King Zedekiah––and fetched him, and the king, asked him, in his own house, secretly, and said,––Is, there a word from Yahweh? And Jeremiah said,––There is, for (said he), Into the hand of the king of Babylon, shalt thou be delivered!

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ then sent King Zedekiah––and fetched him, and the king, asked him, in his own house, secretly, and said,––Is, there a word from Yahweh? And Jeremiah said,––There is, for (said he), Into the hand of the king of Babylon, shalt thou be delivered! ¹⁸ And Jeremiah said, unto King Zedekiah,––What sin have I committed against thee, or, against thy servants, or, against this people, that ye have delivered me, up into prison? ¹⁹ Where, then are your prophets, who prophesied unto you, saying,––The king of Babylon, shall not come, against you, nor against this land? ²⁰ Now, therefore, hear, I beseech thee, O my lord the king,––Let my supplication, I pray thee, fall prostrate before thee, and do not cause me to return unto the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there! ²¹ Then King Zedekiah gave command and they committed Jeremiah into the guard–court, and [said] that there should be given him a cake of bread daily, out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread out of the city, should be spent. So Jeremiah remained, in the guard–court.
