Jeremiah 37:20-21

EasyEnglish Bible

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.
