- 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."
