Jeremiah 37:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ Those ·rulers [^Lofficers] were very angry with Jeremiah and ·beat [^Lstruck] him. Then they put him in ·jail [^Lhouse of confinement] in the house of Jonathan the ·royal secretary [scribe], which had been made into a prison [^Lhouse of confinement]. ¹⁶ So those people put Jeremiah into a cell in a ·dungeon [^Lhouse of the pit/cistern], and Jeremiah was there for ·a long time [^Lmany days].

¹⁷ Then King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah and had him brought to the palace. Zedekiah asked him in ·private [secret], “Is there any message from the Lord?”

Jeremiah answered, “Yes, there is. Zedekiah, you will be handed over to the king of Babylon.”
