Jeremiah 37:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ The officials were enraged at Jeremiah. After having him beaten, they ordered him to be confined in the house of Jonathan the scribe, which had been converted into a jail. ¹⁶ Jeremiah was placed in a cell in the dungeon where he remained for a lengthy period of time.

¹⁷ Later, King Zedekiah had Jeremiah brought to him, and he questioned him privately in his palace, asking him, “Is there any word from the Lord?” “There is,” Jeremiah replied. “You will be handed over to the king of Babylon.”
