Jeremiah 37:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁵ Angry with Jeremiah, they beat him, and they imprisoned him in the house of Jonathan the scribe, because they were using that house as a prison.

¹⁶ Jeremiah was kept in a vaulted cistern^[a] for a long time. ¹⁷ Then King Zedekiah sent for him and had him brought out. The king asked him secretly in his house, “Is there any word from the Lord?”

Jeremiah answered, “There is. He said, ‘You will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon.’”
