⁵ Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I can't go into the house of Yahweh:

¹ Moreover the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying,

² Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house.

²³ Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I am more so; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.

³⁶ Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.

⁹ in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word isn't chained.

²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

¹ For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

⁴ Now, behold, I loose you this day from the chains which are on your hand. If it seem good to you to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will look well to you; but if it seem ill to you to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before you; where it seems good and right to you to go, there go.

²⁸ So Jeremiah abode in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.

⁶ Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king's son, that was in the court of the guard: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. In the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.

¹⁵ The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.

² Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Yahweh.
