Jeremiah 37:1 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylonia, appointed Zedekiah to be king of Judah. He was the son of Josiah. Zedekiah ruled in place of Jehoiachin, the son of Jehoiakim.
2 Zedekiah and his attendants didn't pay any attention to what the Lord had said through me. And the people of the land didn't pay any attention either.
3 But King Zedekiah sent Jehucal to me. He sent the priest Zephaniah along with him. Jehucal was the son of Shelemiah. Zephaniah was the son of Maaseiah. Jehucal and Zephaniah brought the king's message to me. It said, "Please pray to the Lord our God for us."
4 At that time I was free to come and go among the people. I had not yet been put in prison.
5 The armies of Babylonia were attacking Jerusalem. They received a report that Pharaoh's army had marched out of Egypt to help Zedekiah. So they pulled back from Jerusalem.
6 A message came to me from the Lord.
7 The Lord is the God of Israel. He says, "The king of Judah has sent you to ask me for advice. Tell him, 'Pharaoh's army has marched out to help you. But it will go back to its own land. It will return to Egypt.
8 Then the armies of Babylonia will come back here. They will attack this city. They will capture it. Then they will burn it down.'
9 "The Lord says, 'Do not fool yourselves. You think, "The Babylonians will leave us alone." But they will not!
10 Suppose you destroy all of the armies of Babylonia that are attacking you. Suppose only wounded men are left in their tents. Even then they will come out and burn this city down.' "
11 The armies of Babylonia had pulled back from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh's army.
12 So I started to leave the city. I was planning to go to the territory of Benjamin. I wanted to get my share of the property among the people there.
13 I got as far as the Benjamin Gate. But the captain of the guard arrested me. He said, "You are going over to the side of the Babylonians!" The captain's name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah. Shelemiah was the son of Hananiah.
14 I said to Irijah, "That isn't true! I'm not going to the side of the Babylonians." But Irijah wouldn't listen to me. Instead, he arrested me. He brought me to the officials.
15 They were angry with me. So they had me beaten. Then they took me to the house of the secretary Jonathan. It had been made into a prison. That's where they put me.
16 I was put into a prison cell that was below ground level. I remained there a long time.
17 Then King Zedekiah sent for me. He had me brought to the palace. There he spoke to me in private. He asked, "Do you have a message from the Lord for me?" "Yes," I replied. "You will be handed over to the king of Babylonia."
18 Then I continued, "Why have you put me in prison? What crime have I committed against you? What have I done to your officials or these people?
19 Where are your prophets who prophesied to you? They said, 'The king of Babylonia won't attack you. He won't march into this land.'
20 "But now please listen, my king and master. Let me make my appeal to you. Please don't send me back to the house of the secretary Jonathan. If you do, I'll die there."
21 Then King Zedekiah gave the order. His men put me in the courtyard of the guard. They gave me bread from the street of the bakers. They did it every day until all of the bread in the city was gone. So I remained in the courtyard of the guard.
1 And king H4428 NMS Zedekiah H6667 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 reigned H4427 instead H8478 NMS of Coniah H3659 the son H1121 of Jehoiakim H3079 , whom H834 RPRO Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS made king H4427 in the land H776 B-GFS of Judah H3063 .
2 But neither H3808 W-NPAR he H1931 PPRO-3MS , nor his servants H5650 W-CMS-3MS , nor the people H5971 of the land H776 D-GFS , did hearken H8085 unto H413 PREP the words H1697 CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS , which H834 RPRO he spoke H1696 VPQ3MS by H3027 B-CFS the prophet H5030 Jeremiah H3414 .
3 And Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 D-NMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS Jehucal H3081 the son H1121 CMS of Shelemiah H8018 and Zephaniah H6846 the son H1121 CMS of Maaseiah H4641 the priest H3548 to H413 PREP the prophet H5030 Jeremiah H3414 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Pray H6419 now H4994 IJEC unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 for H1157 us .
4 Now Jeremiah H3414 came in H935 VQPMS and went out H3318 among H8432 B-NMS the people H5971 : for they had not H3808 W-NPAR put H5414 him into prison H1004 CMS .
5 Then Pharaoh H6547 EMS \'s army H2428 was come forth H3318 VQQ3MS out of Egypt H4714 : and when the Chaldeans H3778 that besieged H6696 Jerusalem H3389 heard H8085 tidings H8088 of them , they departed H5927 from PREP Jerusalem H3389 .
6 Then came H1961 W-VPY3MS the word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS unto H413 PREP the prophet H5030 Jeremiah H3414 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
7 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 ; Thus H3541 shall ye say H559 VQY2MP to H413 PREP the king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , that sent H7971 you unto H413 PREP me to inquire H1875 of me ; Behold H2009 IJEC , Pharaoh H6547 EMS \'s army H2428 , which is come forth H3318 to help H5833 you , shall return H7725 VQQ3MS to Egypt H4714 into their own land H776 L-CFS-3MS .
8 And the Chaldeans H3778 shall come again H7725 , and fight H3898 against H5921 PREP this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS , and take H3920 it , and burn H8313 it with fire H784 .
9 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS ; Deceive H5377 not H408 NPAR yourselves H5315 , saying H559 L-VQFC , The Chaldeans H3778 shall surely depart H1980 from us : for H3588 CONJ they shall not H3808 NADV depart H1980 .
10 For H3588 CONJ though H518 PART ye had smitten H5221 the whole H3605 NMS army H2428 of the Chaldeans H3778 TMP that fight H3898 against H854 PART-2MP you , and there remained H7604 but wounded H1856 men H376 NMS among them , yet should they rise H6965 VQY3MP every man H376 NMS in his tent H168 B-CMS-3MS , and burn H8313 this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS with fire H784 .
11 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that when the army H2428 of the Chaldeans H3778 was broken up H5927 from M-PREP Jerusalem H3389 for fear H6440 M-CMP of Pharaoh H6547 EMS \'s army H2428 ,
12 Then Jeremiah H3414 went forth H3318 W-VQY3MS out of Jerusalem H3389 to go H1980 L-VQFC into the land H776 GFS of Benjamin H1144 , to separate himself H2505 thence H8033 M-ADV in the midst H8432 B-NMS of the people H5971 D-NMS .
13 And when he H1931 PPRO-3MS was H1961 W-VQY3MS in the gate H8179 of Benjamin H1144 , a captain H1167 CMS of the ward H6488 was there H8033 W-ADV , whose name H8034 was Irijah H3376 , the son H1121 of Shelemiah H8018 , the son H1121 of Hananiah H2608 ; and he took H8610 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Thou H859 PPRO-2MS fallest away H5307 to H413 PREP the Chaldeans H3778 .
14 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Jeremiah H3414 , It is false H8267 NMS ; I fall H5307 VQPMS not H369 away to H5921 PREP the Chaldeans H3778 . But he hearkened H8085 not H3808 W-NPAR to H413 PREP-3MS him : so Irijah H3376 took H8610 Jeremiah H3414 , and brought H935 him to H413 PREP the princes H8269 .
15 Wherefore the princes H8269 were wroth H7107 with H5921 PREP Jeremiah H3414 , and smote H5221 him , and put H5414 him in prison H1004 CMS in the house H1004 CMS of Jonathan H3083 the scribe H5608 : for H3588 CONJ they had made H6213 VQQ3MP that the prison H1004 .
16 When H3588 CONJ Jeremiah H3414 was entered H935 into H413 PREP the dungeon H1004 CMS , and into H413 PREP the cabins H2588 , and Jeremiah H3414 had remained H3427 there H8033 ADV many H7227 AMP days H3117 NMP ;
17 Then Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 NMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS , and took H3947 him out : and the king H4428 NMS asked H7592 him secretly H5643 BD-NMS in his house H1004 B-CMS-3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Is there H3426 I-ADV any word H1697 VQPMS from the LORD H3068 EDS ? And Jeremiah H3414 said H559 W-VQY3MS , There is H3426 PART : for , said H559 W-VQY3MS he , thou shalt be delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 B-CFS of the king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS .
18 Moreover Jeremiah H3414 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP king H4428 D-NMS Zedekiah H6667 , What H4100 IPRO have I offended H2398 against thee , or against thy servants H5650 , or against this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 , that H3588 CONJ ye have put H5414 me in H413 PREP prison H1004 CMS ?
19 Where H346 are now your prophets H5030 which H834 RPRO prophesied H5012 unto you , saying H559 L-VQFC , The king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS shall not H3808 ADV come H935 VQY3MS against H5921 PREP-2MP you , nor against H5921 W-PREP this H2063 land H776 D-GFS ?
20 Therefore hear H8085 VQI2MS now H6258 W-ADV , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , O my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS : let my supplication H8467 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , be accepted H5307 before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee ; that thou cause me not H408 W-NPAR to return H7725 to the house H1004 CMS of Jonathan H3083 the scribe H5608 , lest H3808 W-NPAR I die H4191 VQY1MS there H8033 ADV .
21 Then Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 D-NMS commanded H6680 that they should commit H6485 Jeremiah H3414 into the court H2691 of the prison H4307 , and that they should give H5414 him daily H3117 a piece H3603 of bread H3899 NMS out of the bakers H644 \' street H2351 , until H5704 PREP all H3605 NMS the bread H3899 in H4480 PREP the city H5892 D-GFS were spent H8552 . Thus Jeremiah H3414 remained H3427 W-VQY3MS in the court H2691 of the prison H4307 .
