Jeremiah 37:19-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁹ Where are your prophets now, who prophesied to you, ‘The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land’? ²⁰ Now, my lord the king, please listen to me. Let my petition come before you: Please do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, or I will die there.”

²¹ Then Zedekiah the king ordered that Jeremiah be placed in the courtyard of the guard. Every day they gave him a loaf of bread from the street of the bakers until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.
