- Jeremiah was put into a vaulted cell in a dungeon, where he remained a long time.
- Then King Zedekiah sent for him and had him brought to the palace, where he asked him privately, "Is there any word from the LORD ?" "Yes," Jeremiah replied, "you will be handed over to the king of Babylon."
- Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, "What crime have I committed against you or your officials or this people, that you have put me in prison?
- Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, 'The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land'?
- But now, my lord the king, please listen. Let me bring my petition before you: Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, or I will die there."

- 耶利米來到獄中、進入牢房、在那著囚了多日.
- 西底家王打發人提出他來、在自己的宮內私下問他說、從耶和華有甚麼話臨到沒有.耶利米說、有.又說、你必交在巴比倫王手中。
- 耶利米又對西底家王說、我在甚麼事上得罪你、或你的臣僕、或這百姓、你竟將我囚在監裡呢。
- 對你們豫言巴比倫王必不來攻擊你們和這地的先知、現今在那裡呢。
- 主我的王阿、求你現在垂聽、准我在你面前的懇求.不要使我回到文士約拿單的房屋中、免得我死在那裡。
