37 Zedekiah the son of Jehoiakim reigning in place of Koniah the son of Jehoiakim, having been set upon the throne of Judah by Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. 2 Neither he nor his ministers nor the people of the country paid any heed to messages of the Eternal delivered by the prophet Jeremiah. 5 However, when the Pharaoh’s army had set out from Egypt, and when news of this led the Chaldeans to abandon their siege of Jerusalem, 3 king Zedekiah sent Jehukal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to ask Jeremiah if he would pray for them to the Eternal their God. 4 (Jeremiah was moving in and out among the people; he had not yet been imprisoned.) 6 Then this word came from the Eternal to Jeremiah: 7 “The Eternal, the God of Israel, bids you say this to the king of Judah who sent you to consult me: ‘This army of the Pharaoh, advancing to relieve you, shall retreat to Egypt, its own country, 8 and the Chaldeans shall come back to assault this city, capturing it and burning it in flames. 9 Do not delude yourselves, says the Eternal, with the notion that the Chaldeans will leave you alone; they will not leave you alone. 10 Though you were to defeat the whole of this Chaldean host arrayed against you, till none were left but wounded men, one to a tent, they would start up to burn this city in the flames.’ ”
11 When the Chaldean forces had abandoned the siege of Jerusalem, in fear of the Pharaoh’s army, 12 Jeremiah started from Jerusalem for the district of Benjamin, to take over some property among his own people. 13 But just as he reached the Benjamin-gate of the city, he was arrested by a sentry called Irijah, the son of Shelemiah and the grandson of Hananiah, who shouted to the prophet Jeremiah, “You are deserting to the Chaldeans!” 14 “It is a lie,” said Jeremiah, “I am not deserting to the Chaldeans.” However, Irijah would not listen to him; he arrested Jeremiah and took him to the authorities, 15 who in anger had Jeremiah flogged and confined in the house of the secretary Jonathan, which had been turned into a prison. 16 So Jeremiah found himself in the dungeon cells, where for some time he had to stay.
17 Then king Zedekiah sent for him privately, and interviewed him in the palace. “Is there any word from the Eternal?” he asked. “There is,” said Jeremiah, adding, “word that you are to be handed over to the king of Babylon!” 18 Jeremiah then asked king Zedekiah, “For what crime against yourself or your ministers or this nation have you put me in prison? 19 Pray where have you put your prophets, who assured you that the king of Babylon would never attack you or this country? 20 Listen, my lord king, be gracious to my plea; let me not be taken back to the house of the secretary Jonathan, or I shall die there.” 21 So king Zedekiah gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the guard-house, where he got a loaf from the bakers’ bazaar every day, so long as any bread was left within the city.
