7: thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 the GodH0430 of Israel-H3478 thusH3541 you shall sayH0559 toH0413 the kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 who sentH7971 youH0853 to MeH0413 to inquire of MeH1875 behold,H2009 army,H2428 of PharaohH6547 which has come upH3318 to helpH5833 will returnH7725 to their own landH0776 to Egypt.H4714

11: And it came to pass,H1961 when left [the siege]H5927 the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 ofH5921 JerusalemH3389 for fearH6440 of army,H2428 of Pharaoh.H6547

12: That wentH3318 JeremiahH3414 out of JerusalemH3389 to go intoH1980 the landH0776 of Benjamin,H1144 to claim his propertyH2505 thereH8033 amongH8432 the people.H5971

15: Therefore were angryH7107 the princesH8269 withH5921 Jeremiah,H3414 and they struckH5221 himH0853 and putH5414 himH0853 the houseH1004 of bondsH0612 in the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribe-H5608 forH3588 -H0853 they had made thatH6213 into the prisonH1004 the prison.H3608

16: WhenH3588 enteredH0935 JeremiahH3414 intoH0413 into the dungeonH1004 the dungeon,H0953 andH0413 the cells,H2588 and had remainedH3427 thereH8033 JeremiahH3414 days-H3117 many.H7227

17: Then sent,H7971 the kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 and took him [out]H3947 and asked himH7592 the kingH4428 in his house,H1004 secretlyH5643 and said,H0559 is thereH3426 [any] wordH1697 fromH0853 Yahweh?H3068 and said,H0559 JeremiahH3414 there is-H3426 and he saidH0559 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH0894 You shall be delivered.H5414

18: Moreover saidH0559 JeremiahH3414 toH0413 KingH4428 Zedekiah,H6667 whatH4100 offense have I committedH2398 and against your servants,H5650 or against people,H5971 thisH2088 thatH3588 you have putH5414 meH0853 inH0413 prisonH1004 prison?H3608 where now [are]H0346 your prophetsH5030 whoH0834 prophesiedH5012 saying,H0559 notH3808 will comeH0935 the kingH4428 of BabylonH0894 against youH5921 or againstH5921 landH0776 this?H2063

20: therefore now,H6258 hearH8085 please,H4994 my lordH0113 the king-H4428 let be acceptedH5307 please,H4994 my petition,H8467 before youH6440 and notH0408 do make me returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribe,H5608 and lestH3808 I dieH4191 there.H8033

21: And commandedH6680 the kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 that they should commitH6485 -H0853 JeremiahH3414 to the courtH2691 of the prison,H4307 that they should giveH5414 a pieceH3603 of breadH3899 dailyH3117 from street,H2351 the bakers'H0644 untilH5704 was gone.H8552 AllH3605 the breadH3899 in,H4480 the cityH5892 thus remainedH3427 JeremiahH3414 in the courtH2691 of the prison.H4307
