Jeremiah 37:15-21 and the heads are wroth against Jeremiah, and have smitten him, and put him in the prison-house--the house of Jonathan the scribe, for it they had made for a prison-house."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ and the heads are wroth against Jeremiah, and have smitten him, and put him in the prison-house--the house of Jonathan the scribe, for it they had made for a prison-house." ¹⁶ When Jeremiah has entered into the house of the dungeon, and unto the cells, then Jeremiah dwells there many days, ¹⁷ and the king Zedekiah sends, and takes him, and the king asks him in his house in secret, and said, `Is there a word from Yahweh?' And Jeremiah said, `There is,' and he said, `Into the hand of the king of Babylon you are given.'" ¹⁸ And Jeremiah said unto the king Zedekiah, `What have I sinned against you, and against your servants, and against this people, that you have given me unto a prison-house? ¹⁹ And where [are] your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon does not come in against you, and against this land? ²⁰ And now, hearken, I pray you, my lord, O king, let my supplication fall, I pray you, before you, and cause me not to return [to] the house of Jonathan the scribe, that I die not there.'" ²¹ And the king Zedekiah commands, and they commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, also to give to him a cake of bread daily from the bakers' street, till the consumption of all the bread of the city, and Jeremiah dwells in the court of the prison."
