And kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 reignedH4427 instead of ConiahH3659 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079, whom NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 made kingH4427 in the landH776 of JudahH3063.
But neither he, nor his servantsH5650, nor the peopleH5971 of the landH776, did hearkenH8085 unto the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414. {by…: Heb. by the hand of the prophet}
And ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 sentH7971 JehucalH3081 the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018 and ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641 the priestH3548 to the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, PrayH6419 now unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430 for us.
Now JeremiahH3414 came inH935 and went outH3318 amongH8432 the peopleH5971: for they had not putH5414 him into prisonH1004+H3628.
Then Pharaoh'sH6547 armyH2428 was come forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714: and when the ChaldeansH3778 that besiegedH6696 JerusalemH3389 heardH8085 tidingsH8088 of them, they departedH5927 from JerusalemH3389.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Thus shall ye sayH559 to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that sentH7971 you unto me to enquireH1875 of me; Behold, Pharaoh'sH6547 armyH2428, which is come forthH3318 to helpH5833 you, shall returnH7725 to EgyptH4714 into their own landH776.
And the ChaldeansH3778 shall come againH7725, and fightH3898 against this cityH5892, and takeH3920 it, and burnH8313 it with fireH784.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; DeceiveH5377 not yourselvesH5315, sayingH559, The ChaldeansH3778 shall surelyH1980 departH3212 from us: for they shall not departH3212. {yourselves: Heb. your souls}
For though ye had smittenH5221 the whole armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 that fightH3898 against you, and there remainedH7604 but woundedH1856 menH582 among them, yet should they rise upH6965 every manH376 in his tentH168, and burnH8313 this cityH5892 with fireH784. {wounded: Heb. thrust through}
And it came to pass, that when the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 was broken upH5927 from JerusalemH3389 for fearH6440 of Pharaoh'sH6547 armyH2428, {broken…: Heb. made to ascend}
Then JeremiahH3414 went forthH3318 out of JerusalemH3389 to goH3212 into the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, to separateH2505 himself thence in the midstH8432 of the peopleH5971. {separate…: or, to slip away from thence in the midst of the people}
And when he was in the gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144, a captainH1167 of the wardH6488 was there, whose nameH8034 was IrijahH3376, the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, the sonH1121 of HananiahH2608; and he tookH8610 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, Thou fallest awayH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778.
Then saidH559 JeremiahH3414, It is falseH8267; I fall not awayH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778. But he hearkenedH8085 not to him: so IrijahH3376 tookH8610 JeremiahH3414, and broughtH935 him to the princesH8269. {false: Heb. falsehood, or, a lie}
Wherefore the princesH8269 were wrothH7107 with JeremiahH3414, and smoteH5221 him, and putH5414 him in prisonH612 in the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5608: for they had madeH6213 that the prisonH3608.
When JeremiahH3414 was enteredH935 into the dungeonH1004+H953, and into the cabinsH2588, and JeremiahH3414 had remainedH3427 there manyH7227 daysH3117; {cabins: or, cells}
Then ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 sentH7971, and took him outH3947: and the kingH4428 askedH7592 him secretlyH5643 in his houseH1004, and saidH559, Is there any wordH1697 from the LORDH3068? And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, There isH3426: for, saidH559 he, thou shalt be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
Moreover JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667, What have I offendedH2398 against thee, or against thy servantsH5650, or against this peopleH5971, that ye have putH5414 me in prisonH1004+H3608?
Where are nowH346 your prophetsH5030 which prophesiedH5012 unto you, sayingH559, The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall not comeH935 against you, nor against this landH776?
Therefore hearH8085 now, I pray thee, O my lordH113 the kingH4428: let my supplicationH8467, I pray thee, be acceptedH5307 beforeH6440 thee; that thou cause me not to returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5608, lest I dieH4191 there. {let…: Heb. let my supplication fall}
Then ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 commandedH6680 that they should commitH6485 JeremiahH3414 into the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, and that they should giveH5414 him dailyH3117 a pieceH3603 of breadH3899 out of the bakers'H644 streetH2351, until all the breadH3899 in the cityH5892 were spentH8552. Thus JeremiahH3414 remainedH3427 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307.

It may be they will presentH5307 their supplicationH8467 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and will returnH7725 every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870: for greatH1419 is the angerH639 and the furyH2534 that the LORDH3068 hath pronouncedH1696 against this peopleH5971. {they…: Heb. their supplication shall fail}
But knowH3045 ye for certainH3045, that if ye put me to deathH4191, ye shall surely bringH5414 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 upon yourselves, and upon this cityH5892, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof: for of a truthH571 the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me unto you to speakH1696 all these wordsH1697 in your earsH241.
Then tookH3947 they JeremiahH3414, and castH7993 him into the dungeonH953 of MalchiahH4441 the sonH1121 of HammelechH4428, that was in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307: and they let downH7971 JeremiahH3414 with cordsH2256. And in the dungeonH953 there was no waterH4325, but mireH2916: so JeremiahH3414 sunkH2883 in the mireH2916. {of Hammelech: or, of the king}
Now when EbedmelechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, oneH376 of the eunuchsH5631 which was in the king'sH4428 houseH1004, heardH8085 that they had putH5414 JeremiahH3414 in the dungeonH953; the kingH4428 then sittingH3427 in the gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144;
EbedmelechH5663 went forthH3318 out of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and spakeH1696 to the kingH4428, sayingH559,
My lordH113 the kingH4428, these menH582 have done evilH7489 in all that they have doneH6213 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, whom they have castH7993 into the dungeonH953; and he is like to dieH4191 forH6440 hungerH7458 in the placeH8478 where he is: for there is no more breadH3899 in the cityH5892. {he is like…: Heb. he will die}
AndG1161 when Paul'sG3972 sister'sG79 sonG5207 heardG191 of their lying in waitG1749, he wentG3854 andG2532 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the castleG3925, and toldG518 PaulG3972.
ThenG1161 PaulG3972 calledG4341 oneG1520 of the centurionsG1543 unto him, and saidG5346, BringG520 thisG5126 young manG3494 untoG4314 the chief captainG5506: forG1063 he hathG2192 a certain thingG5100 to tellG518 himG846.
SoG3767+G3303 he tookG3880 himG846, and broughtG71 him toG4314 the chief captainG5506, andG2532 saidG5346, PaulG3972 the prisonerG1198 calledG4341 meG3165 unto him, and prayed meG2065 to bringG71 thisG5126 young manG3494 untoG4314 theeG4571, who hathG2192 somethingG5100 to sayG2980 unto theeG4671.
ThenG1161 the chief captainG5506 tookG1949 himG846 by the handG5495, andG2532 went with him asideG402 privatelyG2596+G2398, and askedG4441 him, WhatG5101 isG2076 thatG3739 thou hastG2192 to tellG518 meG3427?
AndG1161 he saidG2036+G3754, The JewsG2453 have agreedG4934 to desireG2065 theeG4571 thatG3704 thou wouldest bring downG2609 PaulG3972 to morrowG839 intoG1519 the councilG4892, asG5613 though they wouldG3195 enquireG4441 somewhatG5100 ofG4012 himG846 more perfectlyG197.
ButG3767 doG3982 notG3361 thouG4771 yieldG3982 unto themG846: forG1063 there lie in wait forG1748 himG846 ofG1537 themG846 more thanG4119 fortyG5062 menG435, whichG3748 have boundG332 themselvesG1438 with an oathG332, that they willG5315 neitherG3383 eatG5315 norG3383 drinkG4095 tillG2193+G3739 they have killedG337 himG846: andG2532 nowG3568 are theyG1526 readyG2092, looking forG4327 a promiseG1860 fromG575 theeG4675.
SoG3303+G3767 the chief captainG5506 then letG630 the young manG3494 departG630, and chargedG3853 him, See thou tellG1583 no manG3367 thatG3754 thou hast shewedG1718 these thingsG5023 toG4314 meG3165.
ThenG1161 saidG2036 PaulG3972, I standG1510+G2476 atG1909 Caesar'sG2541 judgment seatG968, whereG3757 IG3165 oughtG1163 to be judgedG2919: to the JewsG2453 have I doneG91 noG3762 wrongG91, asG5613+G2532 thouG4771 very wellG2566 knowestG1921.
ForG1063 ifG1487+G3303 I be an offenderG91, orG2532 have committedG4238 any thingG5100 worthyG514 of deathG2288, I refuseG3868 notG3756 to dieG599: butG1161 ifG1487 there beG2076 noneG3762 of these thingsG3739 whereof theseG3778 accuseG2723 meG3450, no manG3762 mayG1410 deliverG5483 meG3165 unto themG846.
