Jeremiah 37:19–21
19Now where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you, nor against this land’?↗
20Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.”↗
21Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard. They gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.↗
