Jeremiah 38:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

Jeremiah Is Imprisoned in a Cistern

38 Shephatiah son of Mattah, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jehucal^[a] son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malkijah heard what Jeremiah had told the people when he said, ² “This is what the Lord says. Whoever remains in this city will die by sword, famine, and plague, but whoever goes over to the Chaldeans will live. He will escape with his life, and he will live. ³ This is what the Lord says. This city will surely be handed over to the army of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.”
