DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ ^(37:14) Wherefore the princes were angry with Jeremias, and they beat him, and cast him into the prison that was in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for he was chief over the prison. ¹⁶ ^(37:15) So Jeremias went into the house of the prison, and into the dungeon: and Jeremias remained there many days. ¹⁷ ^(37:16) Then Sedecias the king, sending, took him: and asked him secretly in his house, and said: Is there, thinkest thou, any word from the Lord? And Jeremias said. There is. And he said: Thou shalt be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon. ¹⁸ ^(37:17) And Jeremias said to king Sedecias: In what have I offended against thee, or thy servants, or thy people, that thou hast cast me into prison? ¹⁹ ^(37:18) Where are your prophets that prophesied to you, and said: The king of Babylon shall not come against you, and against this land? ²⁰ ^(37:19) Now therefore hear, I beseech thee, my lord the king: let my petition be accepted in thy sight: and send me not back into the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there. ²¹ ^(37:20) Then king Sedecias commanded that Jeremias should be committed into the entry of the prison: and that they should give him daily a piece of bread, beside broth, till all the bread in the city were spent: and Jeremias remained in the entry of the prison.
