- 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。

- For Jeremiah had come into the dungeon, that is, the vaulted cell; and Jeremiah stayed there many days.
- Now King Zedekiah sent and took him out; and in his palace the king secretly asked him and said, "Is there a word from the LORD?" And Jeremiah said, "There is!" Then he said, "You will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon!"
- Moreover Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, "In what way have I sinned against you, or against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
- "Where then are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, 'The king of Babylon will not come against you or against this land'?
- "But now, please listen, O my lord the king; please let my petition come before you and do not make me return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, that I may not die there."
