Jeremiah 37:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ Jeremiah answered, “That’s a lie! I’m not deserting to the Babylonians.” But Irijah wouldn’t listen to him. Irijah arrested Jeremiah and took him to the officials. ¹⁵ The officials were so angry with Jeremiah that they beat him and put him in prison in the scribe Jonathan’s house, which had been turned into a prison. ¹⁶ Jeremiah went into a prison cell, and he stayed there a long time.
