Jeremiah Imprisoned

11 Now when ¹the Chaldean army had withdrawn from Jerusalem at the approach of Pharaoh's army,

12 Jeremiah set out from Jerusalem to go to ²the land of Benjamin ³to receive his portion there ⁴among the people.

13 When he was at ⁵the Benjamin Gate, a sentry there named Irijah the son of ⁶Shelemiah, son of Hananiah, seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, ⁷"You are deserting to the Chaldeans."

14 And Jeremiah said, "It is a lie; I am not deserting to the Chaldeans." But Irijah would not listen to him, and seized Jeremiah and brought him to ⁸the officials.

15 And the officials were enraged at Jeremiah, and they beat him ⁹and imprisoned him in the house of Jonathan the secretary, for it had been made a prison.

16 ¹⁰When Jeremiah had come to the dungeon cells and remained there many days,

17 King Zedekiah sent for him and received him. The king questioned him ¹¹secretly in his house and said, "Is there any word from the LORD?" Jeremiah said, "There is." Then he said, ¹²"You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon."

18 Jeremiah also said to King Zedekiah, "What wrong have I done to you or your servants or this people, ¹³that you have put me in prison?

19 ¹⁴Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, 'The king of Babylon will not come against you and against this land'?

20 Now hear, please, O my lord the king: ¹⁵let my humble plea come before you and ¹⁶do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, lest I die there."

21 So King Zedekiah gave orders, and they committed Jeremiah to ¹⁷the court of the guard. And a loaf of bread was given him daily from the bakers' street, ¹⁸until all the bread of the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in ¹⁹the court of the guard.
