Jeremiah 37:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon. He appointed Zedekiah son of Josiah to be the king of Judah in the place of Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim.
2 But Zedekiah did not pay attention to the messages the Lord had given to Jeremiah the prophet. And Zedekiah's servants and the people of Judah did not pay attention to the Lord's messages.
3 King Zedekiah sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah to Jeremiah the prophet with a message. This was the message they brought to Jeremiah: "Jeremiah, pray to the Lord our God for us."
4 (At that time Jeremiah had not yet been put into prison, so he was free to go anywhere he wanted.
5 Also at that time Pharaoh's army had marched from Egypt toward Judah. The Babylonian army had surrounded the city of Jerusalem in order to defeat it. Then they had heard about the army from Egypt marching toward them. So the army from Babylon left Jerusalem to fight with the army from Egypt.)
6 The message from the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet:
7 "This is what the Lord, the God of the people of Israel, says: 'Jehucal and Zephaniah, I know that King Zedekiah of Judah sent you to me to ask questions. Tell King Zedekiah this: Pharaoh's army marched out of Egypt to come here to help you against the army of Babylon. But Pharaoh's army will go back to Egypt.
8 After that, the army from Babylon will come back here and attack Jerusalem. Then they will capture and burn it.'
9 This is what the Lord says: 'People of Jerusalem, don't fool yourselves. Don't say to yourselves, "The army of Babylon will surely leave us alone." They will not.
10 People of Jerusalem, even if you could defeat all of the Babylonian army that is attacking you, there would still be a few wounded men left in their tents. Even those few wounded men would come out of their tents and burn Jerusalem down.'"
11 When the Babylonian army left Jerusalem to fight the army of the Pharaoh of Egypt,
12 Jeremiah wanted to travel from Jerusalem to the land of Benjamin. He wanted to be there for a division of some property that belonged to his family.
13 But when Jeremiah got to the Benjamin Gate of Jerusalem, the captain in charge of the guards arrested him. The captain's name was Irijah son of Shelemiah. Shelemiah was the son of Hananiah. So Irijah the captain arrested Jeremiah and said, "Jeremiah, you are leaving us to join the Babylonian side."
14 Jeremiah said to Irijah, "That is not true! I am not leaving to join the Babylonians." But Irijah refused to listen to Jeremiah. And Irijah arrested Jeremiah and took him to the royal officials of Jerusalem.
15 Those officials were very angry with Jeremiah. They gave an order for Jeremiah to be beaten. Then they put him in a prison. The prison was in the house of Jonathan, a scribe for the king of Judah. His house had been made into a prison.
16 They put Jeremiah into a cell under the house of Jonathan. The cell was in a dungeon under the ground. Jeremiah was there for a long time.
17 Then King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah and had him brought to the palace. Zedekiah talked to Jeremiah in private. He asked Jeremiah, "Is there any message from the Lord?" Jeremiah answered, "Yes, there is a message from the Lord. Zedekiah, you will be given to the king of Babylon."
18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, "What have I done wrong? What crime have I done against you or your officials or the people of Jerusalem? Why have you thrown me into prison?
19 King Zedekiah, where are your prophets now? They told you a false message. They said, 'The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land of Judah.'
20 But now, my lord, king of Judah, please listen to me. Please let me bring my request to you. This is what I ask: Don't send me back to the house of Jonathan the scribe. If you send me back, I will die there."
21 So King Zedekiah gave orders for Jeremiah to be put under guard in the courtyard. And he ordered that Jeremiah should be given bread from the street bakers. He was given bread until there was no more bread in the city. So Jeremiah stayed under guard in the courtyard.
1 And king H4428 Zedekiah H6667 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 reigned H4427 instead H8478 of Coniah H3659 the son H1121 of Jehoiakim, H3079 whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 made king H4427 in the land H776 of Judah. H3063
2 But neither H3808 he, H1931 nor his servants, H5650 nor the people H5971 of the land, H776 did hearken H8085 unto H413 the words H1697 of the LORD, H3068 which H834 he spoke H1696 by H3027 the prophet H5030 Jeremiah. H3414
3 And Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 sent H7971 H853 Jehucal H3081 the son H1121 of Shelemiah H8018 and Zephaniah H6846 the son H1121 of Maaseiah H4641 the priest H3548 to H413 the prophet H5030 Jeremiah, H3414 saying, H559 Pray H6419 now H4994 unto H413 the LORD H3068 our God H430 for H1157 us.
4 Now Jeremiah H3414 came in H935 and went out H3318 among H8432 the people: H5971 for they had not H3808 put H5414 him into prison H1004 H3628 .
5 Then Pharaoh's H6547 army H2428 was come forth H3318 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 : and when the Chaldeans H3778 that besieged H6696 H5921 Jerusalem H3389 heard H8085 H853 tidings H8088 of them , they departed H5927 from H4480 H5921 Jerusalem. H3389
6 Then came H1961 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 unto H413 the prophet H5030 Jeremiah, H3414 saying, H559
7 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Thus H3541 shall ye say H559 to H413 the king H4428 of Judah, H3063 that sent H7971 you unto H413 me to inquire H1875 of me; Behold, H2009 Pharaoh's H6547 army, H2428 which is come forth H3318 to help H5833 you , shall return H7725 to Egypt H4714 into their own land. H776
8 And the Chaldeans H3778 shall come again, H7725 and fight H3898 against H5921 this H2063 city, H5892 and take H3920 it , and burn H8313 it with fire. H784
9 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 Deceive H5377 not H408 yourselves, H5315 saying, H559 The Chaldeans H3778 shall surely depart H1980 H1980 from H4480 H5921 us: for H3588 they shall not H3808 depart. H1980
10 For H3588 though H518 ye had smitten H5221 the whole H3605 army H2428 of the Chaldeans H3778 that fight H3898 against H854 you , and there remained H7604 but wounded H1856 men H376 among them, yet should they rise H6965 every man H376 in his tent, H168 and burn H8313 H853 this H2063 city H5892 with fire. H784
11 And it came to pass, H1961 that when the army H2428 of the Chaldeans H3778 was broken up H5927 from H4480 H5921 Jerusalem H3389 for fear H4480 H6440 of Pharaoh's H6547 army, H2428
12 Then Jeremiah H3414 went forth H3318 out of Jerusalem H4480 H3389 to go H1980 into the land H776 of Benjamin, H1144 to separate himself H2505 thence H4480 H8033 in the midst H8432 of the people. H5971
13 And when he H1931 was H1961 in the gate H8179 of Benjamin, H1144 a captain H1167 of the ward H6488 was there, H8033 whose name H8034 was Irijah, H3376 the son H1121 of Shelemiah, H8018 the son H1121 of Hananiah; H2608 and he took H8610 H853 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet, H5030 saying, H559 Thou H859 fallest away H5307 to H413 the Chaldeans. H3778
14 Then said H559 Jeremiah, H3414 It is false; H8267 I fall H5307 not H369 away to H5921 the Chaldeans. H3778 But he hearkened H8085 not H3808 to H413 him : so Irijah H3376 took H8610 Jeremiah, H3414 and brought H935 him to H413 the princes. H8269
15 Wherefore the princes H8269 were wroth H7107 with H5921 Jeremiah, H3414 and smote H5221 him , and put H5414 him in prison H1004 H612 in the house H1004 of Jonathan H3083 the scribe: H5608 for H3588 they had made H6213 that the prison H1004 H3608 .
16 When H3588 Jeremiah H3414 was entered H935 into H413 the dungeon H1004 H953 , and into H413 the cabins, H2588 and Jeremiah H3414 had remained H3427 there H8033 many H7227 days; H3117
17 Then Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 sent, H7971 and took H3947 him out : and the king H4428 asked H7592 him secretly H5643 in his house, H1004 and said, H559 Is there H3426 any word H1697 from H4480 H854 the LORD H3068 ? And Jeremiah H3414 said, H559 There is: H3426 for, said H559 he , thou shalt be delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Babylon. H894
18 Moreover Jeremiah H3414 said H559 unto H413 king H4428 Zedekiah, H6667 What H4100 have I offended H2398 against thee , or against thy servants, H5650 or against this H2088 people, H5971 that H3588 ye have put H5414 me in H413 prison H1004 H3608 ?
19 Where H346 are now your prophets H5030 which H834 prophesied H5012 unto you, saying, H559 The king H4428 of Babylon H894 shall not H3808 come H935 against H5921 you , nor against H5921 this H2063 land H776 ?
20 Therefore hear H8085 now, H6258 I pray thee, H4994 O my lord H113 the king: H4428 let my supplication, H8467 I pray thee, H4994 be accepted H5307 before H6440 thee ; that thou cause me not H408 to return H7725 to the house H1004 of Jonathan H3083 the scribe, H5608 lest H3808 I die H4191 there. H8033
21 Then Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 commanded H6680 that they should commit H6485 H853 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's H644treet H4480 H2351 , until H5704 all H3605 the bread H3899 in H4480 the city H5892 were spent. H8552 Thus Jeremiah H3414 remained H3427 in the court H2691 of the prison. H4307
