Jeremiah 37:1 And king4428 Zedekiah6667 the son1121 of Josiah2977 reigned4427 instead of Coniah3659 the son1121 of Jehoiakim,3079 whom Nebuchadrezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 made king4427 in the land776 of Judah.3063 cr 2 But neither he, nor his servants,5650 nor the people5971 of the land,776 did hearken8085 unto the words1697 of the LORD,3068 which he spake1696 by3027 the prophet5030{Heb. by the hand of the prophet} Jeremiah.3414 cr

Jeremiah 37:3 And Zedekiah6667 the king4428 sent7971 Jehucal3081 the son1121 of Shelemiah8018 and Zephaniah6846 the son1121 of Maaseiah4641 the priest3548 to the prophet5030 Jeremiah,3414 saying,559 Pray6419 now unto the LORD3068 our God430 for us. cr 4 Now Jeremiah3414 came in935 and went out3318 among8432 the people:5971 for they had not put5414 him into prison.1004 3628 cr 5 Then Pharaoh's6547 army2428 was come forth3318 out of Egypt:4714 and when the Chaldeans3778 that besieged6696 Jerusalem3389 heard8085 tidings8088 of them, they departed5927 from Jerusalem.3389 cr

Jeremiah 37:6 Then came the word1697 of the LORD3068 unto the prophet5030 Jeremiah,3414 saying,559 cr 7 Thus saith559 the LORD,3068 the God430 of Israel;3478 Thus shall ye say559 to the king4428 of Judah,3063 that sent7971 you unto me to enquire1875 of me; Behold, Pharaoh's6547 army,2428 which is come forth3318 to help5833 you, shall return7725 to Egypt4714 into their own land.776 cr 8 And the Chaldeans3778 shall come again,7725 and fight3898 against this city,5892 and take3920 it, and burn8313 it with fire.784 cr 9 Thus saith559 the LORD;3068 Deceive5377 not yourselves,5315{Heb. souls} saying,559 The Chaldeans3778 shall surely1980 depart3212 from us: for they shall not depart.3212 cr 10 For though ye had smitten5221 the whole army2428 of the Chaldeans3778 that fight3898 against you, and there remained7604 but wounded1856{Heb. thrust through} men582 among them, yet should they rise up6965 every man376 in his tent,168 and burn8313 this city5892 with fire.784 cr

Jeremiah 37:11 And it came to pass, that when the army2428 of the Chaldeans3778 was broken up5927{Heb. made to ascend} from Jerusalem3389 for fear6440 of Pharaoh's6547 army,2428 cr 12 Then Jeremiah3414 went forth3318 out of Jerusalem3389 to go3212 into the land776 of Benjamin,1144 to separate2505 himself thence in the midst8432 of the people.5971{Or, to slip away from thence in the midst of the people} cr 13 And when he was in the gate8179 of Benjamin,1144 a captain1167 of the ward6488 was there, whose name8034 was Irijah,3376 the son1121 of Shelemiah,8018 the son1121 of Hananiah;2608 and he took8610 Jeremiah3414 the prophet,5030 saying,559 Thou fallest away5307 to the Chaldeans.3778 cr 14 Then said559 Jeremiah,3414 It is false;8267{Heb. falsehood or lie} I fall not away5307 to the Chaldeans.3778 But he hearkened8085 not to him: so Irijah3376 took8610 Jeremiah,3414 and brought935 him to the princes.8269 cr 15 Wherefore the princes8269 were wroth7107 with Jeremiah,3414 and smote5221 him, and put5414 him in prison612 in the house1004 of Jonathan3083 the scribe:5608 for they had made6213 that the prison.3608 cr

Jeremiah 37:16 When Jeremiah3414 was entered935 into the dungeon,1004 953 and into the cabins,2588{Or, cells} and Jeremiah3414 had remained3427 there many7227 days;3117 cr 17 Then Zedekiah6667 the king4428 sent,7971 and took him out:3947 and the king4428 asked7592 him secretly5643 in his house,1004 and said,559 Is there any word1697 from the LORD?3068 And Jeremiah3414 said,559 There is:3426 for, said559 he, thou shalt be delivered5414 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon.894 cr

Jeremiah 37:18 Moreover Jeremiah3414 said559 unto king4428 Zedekiah,6667 What have I offended2398 against thee, or against thy servants,5650 or against this people,5971 that ye have put5414 me in prison?1004 3608 cr 19 Where are now346 your prophets5030 which prophesied5012 unto you, saying,559 The king4428 of Babylon894 shall not come935 against you, nor against this land?776 cr 20 Therefore hear8085 now, I pray thee, O my lord113 the king:4428 let my supplication,8467{Heb. let my supplication fall} I pray thee, be accepted5307 before6440 thee; that thou cause me not to return7725 to the house1004 of Jonathan3083 the scribe,5608 lest I die4191 there. cr 21 Then Zedekiah6667 the king4428 commanded6680 that they should commit6485 Jeremiah3414 into the court2691 of the prison,4307 and that they should give5414 him daily3117 a piece3603 of bread3899 out of the bakers'644 street,2351 until all the bread3899 in the city5892 were spent.8552 Thus Jeremiah3414 remained3427 in the court2691 of the prison.4307 cr
