Jeremiah 37:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ The officials were angry with Jeremiah and beat him. They put him in jail in the house of Jonathan the scribe because they had made it into a prison. ¹⁶ So Jeremiah came into the cells in the dungeon^[a] and remained there for a long time.^[b]

¹⁷ Then King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah^[c] and received him. The king questioned him secretly in his house: “Is there a message from the Lord?”

Jeremiah said, “There is,” and then he said, “You will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
