Jeremiah 37:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ Jeremiah then asked King Zedekiah, “In what way have I wronged you or your ministers or this people that caused you to order me to be thrown into prison? ¹⁹ Where are your prophets now who prophesied to you that the king of Babylon would not attack you or this land?

²⁰ “Therefore, I beg you, my lord king, to grant my petition. Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the scribe. If you do, I will die there.”
