- 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."
