Jeremiah 37:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁴ And Jeremiah said, “That is a lie; I am not deserting to the Chaldeans.” But Irijah would not listen to him and arrested Jeremiah and brought him to the officials. ¹⁵ The officials were enraged at Jeremiah, and they beat him and imprisoned him in the house of the secretary Jonathan, for it had been made a prison.^{(A) 16} Thus Jeremiah was put in the cistern house, in the cells, and remained there many days.^(B)
