Jeremiah 32:2

Jeremiah Buys a Field

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord ^ain the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.

2 For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up ^ain the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah’s house.

3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, “Why do you ^aprophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord: ^b“Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;

4 and Zedekiah king of Judah ^ashall not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him¹ face to face, and see him ^beye to eye;

5 then he shall ^alead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there he shall be ^buntil I visit him,” says the Lord; ^c“though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not succeed” ’?”

6 And Jeremiah said, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

7 ‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field which is in Anathoth, for the ^aright of redemption is yours to buy it.” ’
