37:1 And
king
Zedekiah
the
sonne
of
Iosiah
reigned
in
stead
of
Coniah
the
son
of
Iehoiakim,
who
Nebuchad-rezzar
king
of
Babylon
made
king
in
the
land
of
Iudah.
37:2 But
neither
he,
nor
his
seruants,
nor
the
people
of
the
land,
did
hearken
vnto
the
words
of
the
Lord,
which
he
spake
by
the
prophet
Ieremiah.
37:3 And
Zedekiah
the
king
sent
Iehucal
the
sonne
of
Shelemiah,
and
Zephaniah
the
son
of
Maaseiah
the
priest
to
the
prophet
Ieremiah,
saying,
Pray
now
vnto
the
Lord
our
God
for
vs.
37:4 Nowe
Ieremiah
came
in
and
went
out
among
the
people:
for
they
had
not
put
him
into
prison.
37:5 Then
Pharaohs
armie
was
come
forth
out
of
Egypt:
and
when
the
Caldeans
that
besieged
Ierusalem,
heard
tidings
of
them,
they
departed
from
Ierusalem.
37:6 Then
came
the
word
of
the
Lord
vnto
the
Prophet
Ieremiah,
saying,
37:7 Thus
saith
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel,
Thus
shall
ye
say
to
the
king
of
Iudah,
that
sent
you
vnto
me
to
enquire
of
me,
Behold,
Pharaohs
armie
which
is
come
forth
to
helpe
you,
shall
returne
to
Egypt
into
their
owne
land.
37:8 And
the
Caldeans
shall
come
againe,
and
fight
against
this
citie
and
take
it,
and
burne
it
with
fire.
37:9 Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Deceiue
not
your
selues,
saying,
The
Caldeans
shall
surely
depart
from
vs:
for
they
shall
not
depart.
37:10 For
though
yee
had
smitten
the
whole
armie
of
the
Caldeans
that
fight
against
you,
and
there
remained
but
wounded
men
among
them,
yet
should
they
rise
vp
euery
man
in
his
tent,
and
burne
this
citie
with
fire.
37:11 And
it
came
to
passe
that
when
the
armie
of
the
Caldeans
was
broken
vp
from
Ierusalem
for
feare
of
Pharaohs
armie,
37:12 Then
Ieremiah
went
forth
out
of
Ierusalem
to
goe
into
the
lande
of
Beniamin,
to
separate
himselfe
thence
in
the
mids
of
the
people.
37:13 And
when
he
was
in
the
gate
of
Beniamin,
a
captaine
of
the
warde
was
there,
whose
name
was
Irijah,
the
son
of
Shelemiah,
the
sonne
of
Hananiah,
&
he
tooke
Ieremiah
the
Prophet,
saying,
Thou
fallest
away
to
the
Caldeans
37:14 Then
said
Ieremiah,
It
is
false,
I
fall
not
away
to
the
Caldeans:
but
he
hearkened
not
to
him:
so
Irijah
tooke
Ieremiah,
and
brought
him
to
the
princes.
37:15 Wherfore
the
princes
were
wroth
with
Ieremiah,
and
smote
him,
and
put
him
in
prison,
in
the
house
of
Ionathan
the
scribe,
for
they
had
made
that
the
prison.
37:16 When
Ieremiah
was
entred
into
the
dungeon,
and
into
the
cabbins,
and
Ieremiah
had
remained
there
many
dayes:
37:17 Then
Zedekiah
the
king
sent
and
tooke
him
out,
and
the
king
asked
him
secretly
in
his
house,
and
said,
Is
there
any
word
from
the
Lord
and
Ieremiah
said,
There
is:
for,
said
he,
thou
shalt
be
deliuered
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon.
37:18 Moreouer
Ieremiah
sayd
vnto
king
Zedekiah,
What
haue
I
offended
against
thee,
or
against
thy
seruants,
or
against
this
people,
that
yee
haue
put
me
in
prison
37:19 Where
are
now
your
prophets,
which
prophecied
vnto
you,
saying,
The
king
of
Babylon
shall
not
come
against
you,
nor
against
this
land
37:20 Therefore
heare
now,
I
pray
thee,
O
my
Lord
the
king;
let
my
supplication,
I
pray
thee,
be
accepted
before
thee,
that
thou
cause
me
not
to
returne
to
the
house
of
Ionathan
the
scribe,
lest
I
die
there.
37:21 Then
Zedekiah
the
king
commanded
that
they
should
commit
Ieremiah
into
the
court
of
the
prison,
and
that
they
should
giue
him
daily
a
piece
of
bread
out
of
the
bakers
streete,
vntill
all
the
bread
in
the
citie
were
spent.
Thus
Ieremiah
remained
in
the
court
of
the
prison.
