- Jeremiah was put into a vaulted cell in a dungeon, where he remained a long time.
- Then King Zedekiah sent for him and had him brought to the palace, where he asked him privately, "Is there any word from the LORD ?" "Yes," Jeremiah replied, "you will be handed over to the king of Babylon."
- Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, "What crime have I committed against you or your officials or this people, that you have put me in prison?
- Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, 'The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land'?
- But now, my lord the king, please listen. Let me bring my petition before you: Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, or I will die there."

- 耶利米来到狱中,进入牢房,在那里囚了多日。
- 西底家王打发人提出他来,在自己的宫内私下问他说,从耶和华有什么话临到没有。耶利米说,有。又说,你必交在巴比伦王手中。
- 耶利米又对西底家王说,我在什么事上得罪你,或你的臣仆,或这百姓,你竟将我囚在监里呢。
- 对你们预言巴比伦王必不来攻击你们和这地的先知,现今在哪里呢。
- 主我的王阿,求你现在垂听,准我在你面前的恳求,不要使我回到文士约拿单的房屋中,免得我死在那里。
