Jeremiah 37:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ King Zedekiah sent Jehucal (son of Shelemiah) and the priest Zephaniah (son of Maaseiah) to the prophet Jeremiah. They asked him, “Please pray to the Lord our God for us.”

⁴ Jeremiah was still free to come and go among the people. The people of Jerusalem hadn’t put him in prison yet. ⁵ Pharaoh’s army had come from Egypt, and when the Babylonians who were blockading Jerusalem heard this news, they retreated from Jerusalem.
