Jeremiah Warns against Trust in Pharaoh

37 Now ^(A)Zedekiah the son of Josiah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had ^(B)made king in the land of Judah, reigned as king in place of ^(C)Coniah the son of Jehoiakim. ² But ^(D)neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land listened to the words of the Lord which He spoke through Jeremiah the prophet.

³ Yet ^(E)King Zedekiah sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and ^(F)the priest Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “^(G)Please pray to the Lord our God in our behalf.”
