Jeremiah 37:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ Where are your prophets that prophesied this message to you: ‘The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land’ [^CJudah]? ²⁰ But now, my master, king [^Cof Judah], please listen to me, and please ·do what I ask of [^Llet my pleas for help/supplications fall before] you. Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the ·royal secretary [scribe], or I will die there!”

²¹ So King Zedekiah gave orders for Jeremiah to be put under guard in the courtyard of the guard and to be given bread each day from the street of the bakers until there was no more bread in the city. So he stayed under guard in the courtyard of the guard.
