Jeremiah 37:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵ They were already angry with Jeremiah because of his predictions of destruction and his advice to surrender. So they had Jeremiah beaten and placed him under arrest in the house of Jonathan the secretary (which they had made into a prison). ¹⁶ He was placed in a dark, damp cell below ground and left there for a long time.

¹⁷ Eventually, King Zedekiah had him secretly brought to the palace so the king could talk with him.
