Jeremiah 38:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ Then tell them, ‘I was begging the king not to send me back to Jonathan’s house. I don’t want to die there.’ ”

²⁷ All the officials came to Jeremiah. And they questioned him. He told them everything the king had ordered him to say. None of them had heard what he told the king. So they didn’t say anything else to him.

²⁸ Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard. He stayed there until the day Jerusalem was captured.
