¹⁸ Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “What ·crime [sin] have I done against you or your officers or the people of Jerusalem? Why have you ·thrown [placed] me into ·prison [^Lthe house of confinement]? ¹⁹ Where are your prophets that prophesied this message to you: ‘The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land’ [^CJudah]? ²⁰ But now, my master, king [^Cof Judah], please listen to me, and please ·do what I ask of [^Llet my pleas for help/supplications fall before] you. Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the ·royal secretary [scribe], or I will die there!”
