Jeremiah 37:14-16

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ And Jeremiah said, “That is a lie! I am not deserting to the Chaldeans.” But he would not listen to him. So Irijah seized Jeremiah and brought him to the officials. ¹⁵ And the officials were angry at Jeremiah and they struck him. And they put him in prison,^[a] in the house of Jonathan the secretary, for they had converted it to the prison^[b]. ¹⁶ So Jeremiah came to the dungeon^[c], even to the vaulted cells, and Jeremiah stayed there many days.
