Compare all
18 Moreover Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “What offense have I committed against you, against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
19 Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you or against this land’?
20 Therefore please hear now, O my lord the king. Please, let my petition be accepted before you, and do not make me return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.”
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah ato the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread from the bakers’ street, buntil all the bread in the city was gone. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
