1
Now Zedekiah
the son
of Josiah
whom
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of Babylon
had made
king
in the land
of Judah,
reigned
as
king
in place
of Coniah
the son
of Jehoiakim.
2
But neither he
nor
his servants
nor
the people
of the land
listened
to the words
of the LORD
which
He spoke
through
Jeremiah
the prophet.
3
Yet King
Zedekiah
sent
Jehucal
the son
of Shelemiah,
and Zephaniah
the son
of Maaseiah,
the priest,
to Jeremiah
the prophet,
saying,
"Please
pray
to the LORD
our God
on our behalf."
4
Now Jeremiah
was still coming
in and going
out among
the people,
for they had not yet put
him in the prison.
5
Meanwhile, Pharaoh's
army
had set
out from Egypt;
and when the Chaldeans
who had been besieging
Jerusalem
heard
the report
about them, they lifted
the siege from
Jerusalem
.
6
Then the word
of the LORD
came
to Jeremiah
the prophet,
saying,
7
"
Thus
says
the LORD
God
of Israel,
'
Thus
you are to say
to the king
of Judah,
who sent
you to Me to inquire
of Me: "Behold,
Pharaoh's
army
which has come
out for your assistance
is going to return
to its own land
of Egypt.
8
"The Chaldeans
will also return
and fight
against
this
city,
and they will capture
it and burn
it with fire."'
9
"Thus
says
the LORD,
'
Do not deceive
yourselves,
saying,
"The Chaldeans
will surely
go
away from us," for they will not
go
.
10
For even if
you had defeated
the entire
army
of Chaldeans
who were fighting
against
you, and there were only wounded
men
left
among them, each man
in his tent,
they would rise
up and burn
this
city
with fire.'"
11
Now it happened
when the army
of the Chaldeans
had lifted
the siege from Jerusalem
because
of Pharaoh's
army,
12
that Jeremiah
went
out from Jerusalem
to go
to the land
of Benjamin
in order to take possession of some property
there
among
the people.
13
While he was at the Gate
of Benjamin,
a captain
of the guard
whose name
was Irijah,
the son
of Shelemiah
the son
of Hananiah
was there;
and he arrested
Jeremiah
the prophet,
saying,
"You are going over
to the Chaldeans!"
14
But
Jeremiah
said,
"A lie!
I am not going over
to the Chaldeans";
yet he would not listen
to him. So Irijah
arrested
Jeremiah
and brought
him to the officials.
15
Then the officials
were angry
at Jeremiah
and beat
him, and they put
him in jail
in the house
of Jonathan
the scribe,
which they had made
into the prison.
16
For Jeremiah
had come
into the dungeon,
that is, the vaulted cell;
and Jeremiah
stayed
there
many
days.
17
Now King
Zedekiah
sent
and took
him out; and in his palace
the king
secretly
asked
him and
said,
"Is there
a word
from the LORD?"
And Jeremiah
said,
"There
is!" Then he
said,
"You will be given
into the hand
of
the king
of Babylon!"
18
Moreover Jeremiah
said
to King
Zedekiah,
"In what
way have I sinned
against you, or against your servants,
or against this
people,
that you have put
me in prison?
19
"Where
then are your prophets
who
prophesied
to you, saying,
'
The king
of Babylon
will not come
against
you or
against
this
land '?
20
"But now,
please
listen,
O my lord
the king;
please
let my petition
come
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 court
of the guardhouse
and gave
him a loaf
of bread
daily
from the bakers'
street,
until
all
the bread
in the city
was gone.
So
Jeremiah
remained
in the court
of the guardhouse
.
