³¹ It happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the [first] year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;

²⁷ It happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;

²⁸ and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,

²⁹ and changed his prison garments. [Jehoiachin] ate bread before him continually all the days of his life:

³⁰ and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.

³ But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, My glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

¹³ Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cupbearer.

⁶ Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.

¹ The king's heart is in Yahweh's hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires.

²⁰ It happened the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

²⁹ When they cast down, you shall say, 'be lifted up.' He will save the humble person.
