Jeremiah 37:18-20

The Voice

¹⁸ what crime have I committed against you, your advisors, or this nation that I should be imprisoned? ¹⁹ I told you nothing but the truth about Babylon from the beginning, so why am I in this cell? Meanwhile, your so-called prophets keep telling you, “Don’t worry, the king of Babylon will never attack you or this land,” and they go unpunished? ²⁰ Please, I’m asking you, my lord the king, do not send me back to that cell in the house of Jonathan the secretary, or I will die there.
