Jeremiah Chapter 37 - King James Strong Number Version

1: And king <H4428> Zedekiah <H6667> the son <H1121> of Josiah <H2977> reigned <H4427> instead of Coniah <H3659> the son <H1121> of Jehoiakim, <H3079> whom Nebuchadrezzar <H5019> king <H4428> of Babylon <H0894> made king <H4427> in the land <H0776> of Judah. <H3063>
2: But neither he, nor his servants, <H5650> nor the people <H5971> of the land, <H0776> did hearken <H8085> unto the words <H1697> of the LORD, <H3068> which he spake <H1696> by <H3027> the prophet <H5030> Jeremiah. <H3414>
3: And Zedekiah <H6667> the king <H4428> sent <H7971> Jehucal <H3081> the son <H1121> of Shelemiah <H8018> and Zephaniah <H6846> the son <H1121> of Maaseiah <H4641> the priest <H3548> to the prophet <H5030> Jeremiah, <H3414> saying, <H0559> Pray <H6419> now unto the LORD <H3068> our God <H0430> for us.
4: Now Jeremiah <H3414> came in <H0935> and went out <H3318> among <H8432> the people: <H5971> for they had not put <H5414> him into prison. <H1004> <H3628>
5: Then Pharaoh's <H6547> army <H2428> was come forth <H3318> out of Egypt: <H4714> and when the Chaldeans <H3778> that besieged <H6696> Jerusalem <H3389> heard <H8085> tidings <H8088> of them, they departed <H5927> from Jerusalem. <H3389>
6: Then came the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> unto the prophet <H5030> Jeremiah, <H3414> saying, <H0559>
7: Thus saith <H0559> the LORD, <H3068> the God <H0430> of Israel; <H3478> Thus shall ye say <H0559> to the king <H4428> of Judah, <H3063> that sent <H7971> you unto me to enquire <H1875> of me; Behold, Pharaoh's <H6547> army, <H2428> which is come forth <H3318> to help <H5833> you, shall return <H7725> to Egypt <H4714> into their own land. <H0776>
8: And the Chaldeans <H3778> shall come again, <H7725> and fight <H3898> against this city, <H5892> and take <H3920> it, and burn <H8313> it with fire. <H0784>
9: Thus saith <H0559> the LORD; <H3068> Deceive <H5377> not yourselves, <H5315> saying, <H0559> The Chaldeans <H3778> shall surely <H1980> depart <H3212> from us: for they shall not depart. <H3212>
10: For though ye had smitten <H5221> the whole army <H2428> of the Chaldeans <H3778> that fight <H3898> against you, and there remained <H7604> [but] wounded <H1856> men <H0582> among them, [yet] should they rise up <H6965> every man <H0376> in his tent, <H0168> and burn <H8313> this city <H5892> with fire. <H0784>
11: And it came to pass, that when the army <H2428> of the Chaldeans <H3778> was broken up <H5927> from Jerusalem <H3389> for fear <H6440> of Pharaoh's <H6547> army, <H2428>
12: Then Jeremiah <H3414> went forth <H3318> out of Jerusalem <H3389> to go <H3212> into the land <H0776> of Benjamin, <H1144> to separate <H2505> himself thence in the midst <H8432> of the people. <H5971>
13: And when he was in the gate <H8179> of Benjamin, <H1144> a captain <H1167> of the ward <H6488> [was] there, 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, <H0559> Thou fallest away <H5307> to the Chaldeans. <H3778>
14: Then said <H0559> Jeremiah, <H3414> [It is] false; <H8267> I fall not away <H5307> to the Chaldeans. <H3778> But he hearkened <H8085> not to him: so Irijah <H3376> took <H8610> Jeremiah, <H3414> and brought <H0935> him to the princes. <H8269>
15: Wherefore the princes <H8269> were wroth <H7107> with Jeremiah, <H3414> and smote <H5221> him, and put <H5414> him in prison <H0612> <H1004> in the house <H1004> of Jonathan <H3083> the scribe: <H5608> for they had made <H6213> that the prison. <H3608> <H1004>
16: When Jeremiah <H3414> was entered <H0935> into the dungeon, <H1004> <H0953> and into the cabins, <H2588> and Jeremiah <H3414> had remained <H3427> there many <H7227> days; <H3117>
17: Then Zedekiah <H6667> the king <H4428> sent, <H7971> and took him out: <H3947> and the king <H4428> asked <H7592> him secretly <H5643> in his house, <H1004> and said, <H0559> Is there <H3426> [any] word <H1697> from the LORD? <H3068> And Jeremiah <H3414> said, <H0559> There is: <H3426> for, said <H0559> he, thou shalt be delivered <H5414> into the hand <H3027> of the king <H4428> of Babylon. <H0894>
18: Moreover Jeremiah <H3414> said <H0559> unto king <H4428> Zedekiah, <H6667> What have I offended <H2398> against thee, or against thy servants, <H5650> or against this people, <H5971> that ye have put <H5414> me in prison? <H1004> <H3608>
19: Where [are] now <H0346> your prophets <H5030> which prophesied <H5012> unto you, saying, <H0559> The king <H4428> of Babylon <H0894> shall not come <H0935> against you, nor against this land? <H0776>
20: Therefore hear <H8085> now, I pray thee, O my lord <H0113> the king: <H4428> let my supplication, <H8467> I pray thee, be accepted <H5307> before <H6440> thee; that thou cause me not to return <H7725> to the house <H1004> of Jonathan <H3083> the scribe, <H5608> lest I die <H4191> there.
21: Then Zedekiah <H6667> the king <H4428> 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> out of the bakers' <H0644> street, <H2351> until all the bread <H3899> in the city <H5892> were spent. <H8552> Thus Jeremiah <H3414> remained <H3427> in the court <H2691> of the prison. <H4307>
