Jeremiah 37:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And Jeremias said to king Sedecias: In what have I offended against thee, or thy servants, or thy people, that thou hast cast me into prison?

¹⁸ Where are your prophets that prophesied to you, and said: The king of Babylon shall not come against you, and against this land?

¹⁹ Now therefore hear, I beseech thee, my lord the king: let my petition be accepted in thy sight: and send me not back into the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
