Jeremiah 37:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ What happened to your prophets who told you that the king of Babylonia would not attack you or the country? ²⁰ And now, Your Majesty, I beg you to listen to me and do what I ask. Please do not send me back to the prison in Jonathan's house. If you do, I will surely die there.”

²¹ So King Zedekiah ordered me to be locked up in the palace courtyard. I stayed there, and each day I was given a loaf of bread from the bakeries until all the bread in the city was gone.
