Jeremiah 37:13-15

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹³ But as he arrived at the Benjamin Gate, the sentry who was in charge there, named Irijah son of Shelemiah, son of Hananiah, seized Jeremiah the prophet. He said, “You are deserting to the Chaldeans!”

¹⁴ But Jeremiah said, “That is false! I am not deserting to the Chaldeans.”

But Irijah did not listen to him. He seized Jeremiah and brought him to the officials. ¹⁵ Angry with Jeremiah, they beat him, and they imprisoned him in the house of Jonathan the scribe, because they were using that house as a prison.
