24:037:007 Thus saith the lord, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to
           the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of me;
           Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which is come forth to help you, shall
           return to Egypt into their own land.

24:037:008 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this
           city, and take it, and burn it with fire.

24:037:009 Thus saith the lord; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The
           Chaldeans shall surely depart from us:  for they shall not
           depart.

24:037:010 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that
           fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among
           them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn
           this city with fire.

24:037:011 And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was
           broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,

24:037:012 Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land
           of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the
           people.

24:037:013 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward
           was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the
           son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
           Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.

24:037:014 Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the
           Chaldeans.  But he hearkened not to him:  so Irijah took
           Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.

24:037:015 Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him,
           and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe:  for
           they had made that the prison.

24:037:016 When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the
           cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;

24:037:017 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out:  and the king
           asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word
           from the lord?  And Jeremiah said, There is:  for, said he, thou
           shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.

24:037:018 Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I
           offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against
           this people, that ye have put me in prison?

24:037:019 Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying,
           The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against
           this land?

24:037:020 Therefore hear 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 return to the house of Jonathan the scribe,
           lest I die there.
