Jeremiah 37:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ Jeremiah said to Irijah, “That’s not true! I am not leaving to join the Babylonians.” But Irijah refused to listen to Jeremiah. So he arrested Jeremiah and took him to the officers of Jerusalem. ¹⁵ Those rulers were very angry with Jeremiah. They gave an order for him to be beaten. Then they put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the royal assistant. Jonathan’s house had been made into a prison. ¹⁶ So those people put Jeremiah into a cell in a dungeon. And Jeremiah was there for a long time.
