Jeremiah 37:19-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ “Where are your prophets, now, who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babel shall not come against you or against this land?’

²⁰ “Therefore, please hear now, O my lord the king. Let my prayer be acceptable before you, so that you cause me not to return to the house of Jehonathan the scribe, lest I die there.”

²¹ Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should put Jeremiah in the court of the prison, and that they should give him a piece of daily bread out of the baker’s street until all the bread in the city was eaten up. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
