Jeremiah 37:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ Your own prophets said that the king of Babylon would not attack you or the land of Judah. That was a lie, so what have you done to them? ²⁰ Please help me now, my master, the king. Do not send me back to the house of your secretary Jonathan. If you do that, I will die there.’

²¹ Then King Zedekiah told his officers to put Jeremiah in the palace yard where the guards would watch him. He told them to get bread every day from the bakers in the city and give it to Jeremiah. They should do that until there was no more bread in the city.^[a]

So they kept Jeremiah as prisoner in the palace yard with the royal guards.
