Jeremiah 29:25-32
English Standard Version
25 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: You have sent letters in your name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, and to (A)Zephaniah the son of (B)Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying, 26 ‘The Lord has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, to have (C)charge in the house of the Lord (D)over every madman who prophesies, to put him in (E)the stocks and neck irons. 27 Now why have you not rebuked Jeremiah (F)of Anathoth who is prophesying to you? 28 For he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, “Your exile will be long; (G)build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their produce.”’”
29 (H)Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet. 30 (I)Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 31 “Send to all the exiles, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord concerning (J)Shemaiah of Nehelam: Because (K)Shemaiah had prophesied to you (L)when I did not send him, and has made you trust in a lie, 32 therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I will punish (M)Shemaiah of Nehelam and his descendants. He shall not have anyone living among this people, (N)and he shall not see the good that I will do to my people, declares the Lord, (O)for he has spoken rebellion against the Lord.’”

25 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You sent letters in your own name to all the people in Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah(A) son of Maaseiah, and to all the other priests. You said to Zephaniah, 26 ‘The Lord has appointed you priest in place of Jehoiada to be in charge of the house of the Lord; you should put any maniac(B) who acts like a prophet into the stocks(C) and neck-irons. 27 So why have you not reprimanded Jeremiah from Anathoth, who poses as a prophet among you? 28 He has sent this message(D) to us in Babylon: It will be a long time.(E) Therefore build(F) houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.’”
29 Zephaniah(G) the priest, however, read the letter to Jeremiah the prophet. 30 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 31 “Send this message to all the exiles: ‘This is what the Lord says about Shemaiah(H) the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, even though I did not send(I) him, and has persuaded you to trust in lies, 32 this is what the Lord says: I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants.(J) He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good(K) things I will do for my people, declares the Lord, because he has preached rebellion(L) against me.’”

Jeremiah Imprisoned
11 Now when (A)the Chaldean army had withdrawn from Jerusalem at the approach of Pharaoh's army, 12 Jeremiah set out from Jerusalem to go to (B)the land of Benjamin (C)to receive his portion there (D)among the people. 13 When he was at (E)the Benjamin Gate, a sentry there named Irijah the son of (F)Shelemiah, son of Hananiah, seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, (G)“You are deserting to the Chaldeans.” 14 And Jeremiah said, “It is a lie; I am not deserting to the Chaldeans.” But Irijah would not listen to him, and seized Jeremiah and brought him to (H)the officials. 15 And the officials were enraged at Jeremiah, and they beat him (I)and imprisoned him in the house of Jonathan the secretary, for it had been made a prison.
16 (J)When Jeremiah had come to the dungeon cells and remained there many days, 17 King Zedekiah sent for him and received him. The king questioned him (K)secretly in his house and said, “Is there any word from the Lord?” Jeremiah said, “There is.” Then he said, (L)“You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.” 18 Jeremiah also said to King Zedekiah, “What wrong have I done to you or your servants or this people, (M)that you have put me in prison? 19 (N)Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you and against this land’? 20 Now hear, please, O my lord the king: (O)let my humble plea come before you and (P)do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, lest I die there.” 21 So King Zedekiah gave orders, and they committed Jeremiah to (Q)the court of the guard. And a loaf of bread was given him daily from the bakers' street, (R)until all the bread of the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in (S)the court of the guard.

Jeremiah 37:11-21
New International Version
11 After the Babylonian army had withdrawn(A) from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh’s army, 12 Jeremiah started to leave the city to go to the territory of Benjamin to get his share of the property(B) among the people there. 13 But when he reached the Benjamin Gate,(C) the captain of the guard, whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, arrested him and said, “You are deserting to the Babylonians!”(D)
14 “That’s not true!” Jeremiah said. “I am not deserting to the Babylonians.” But Irijah would not listen to him; instead, he arrested(E) Jeremiah and brought him to the officials. 15 They were angry with Jeremiah and had him beaten(F) and imprisoned(G) in the house(H) of Jonathan the secretary, which they had made into a prison.
16 Jeremiah was put into a vaulted cell in a dungeon, where he remained a long time. 17 Then King Zedekiah sent(I) for him and had him brought to the palace, where he asked(J) him privately,(K) “Is there any word from the Lord?”
“Yes,” Jeremiah replied, “you will be delivered(L) into the hands of the king of Babylon.”
18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “What crime(M) have I committed against you or your attendants or this people, that you have put me in prison? 19 Where are your prophets(N) who prophesied to you, ‘The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land’? 20 But now, my lord the king, please listen. Let me bring my petition before you: Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, or I will die there.”(O)
21 King Zedekiah then gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the courtyard of the guard and given a loaf of bread from the street of the bakers each day until all the bread(P) in the city was gone.(Q) So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.(R)

Jeremiah 26:11-24
English Standard Version
11 Then (A)the priests and the prophets said to the officials and to all the people, (B)“This man deserves the sentence of death, because he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your own ears.”
12 Then Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and all the people, saying, “The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and this city all the words you have heard. 13 Now therefore (C)mend your ways and your deeds, (D)and obey the voice of the Lord your God, (E)and the Lord will relent of the disaster that he has pronounced against you. 14 (F)But as for me, behold, I am in your hands. Do with me as seems good and right to you. 15 Only know for certain that if you put me to death, (G)you will bring innocent blood upon yourselves and upon this city and its inhabitants, for in truth the Lord sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.”
Jeremiah Spared from Death
16 (H)Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, (I)“This man does not deserve the sentence of death, for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.” 17 (J)And certain of (K)the elders of the land arose and spoke to all the assembled people, saying, 18 “Micah of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and said to all the people of Judah: ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts,
(L)“‘Zion shall be plowed as a field;
Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins,
and the mountain of the house a wooded height.’
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? (M)Did he not fear the Lord and entreat the favor of the Lord, (N)and did not the Lord relent of the disaster that he had pronounced against them? (O)But we are about to bring great disaster upon ourselves.”
20 There was another man who prophesied in the name of the Lord, Uriah the son of Shemaiah from (P)Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land in words like those of Jeremiah. 21 And when (Q)King Jehoiakim, with all his warriors and all the officials, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah heard of it, he was afraid and fled and escaped to Egypt. 22 Then (R)King Jehoiakim sent to Egypt certain men, (S)Elnathan the son of (T)Achbor and others with him, 23 and they took Uriah from Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiakim, (U)who struck him down with the sword and dumped his dead body into the burial place of the common people.
24 But the hand of (V)Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah so that he was not given over to the people to be put to death.

11 Then the priests and the prophets said to the officials and all the people, “This man should be sentenced to death(A) because he has prophesied against this city. You have heard it with your own ears!”(B)
12 Then Jeremiah said to all the officials(C) and all the people: “The Lord sent me to prophesy(D) against this house and this city all the things you have heard.(E) 13 Now reform(F) your ways and your actions and obey(G) the Lord your God. Then the Lord will relent(H) and not bring the disaster he has pronounced against you. 14 As for me, I am in your hands;(I) do with me whatever you think is good and right. 15 Be assured, however, that if you put me to death, you will bring the guilt of innocent blood(J) on yourselves and on this city and on those who live in it, for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak all these words(K) in your hearing.”
16 Then the officials(L) and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, “This man should not be sentenced to death!(M) He has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.”
17 Some of the elders of the land stepped forward and said to the entire assembly of people, 18 “Micah(N) of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. He told all the people of Judah, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“‘Zion(O) will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble,(P)
the temple hill(Q) a mound overgrown with thickets.’[a](R)
19 “Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did not Hezekiah(S) fear the Lord and seek(T) his favor? And did not the Lord relent,(U) so that he did not bring the disaster(V) he pronounced against them? We are about to bring a terrible disaster(W) on ourselves!”
20 (Now Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim(X) was another man who prophesied in the name of the Lord; he prophesied the same things against this city and this land as Jeremiah did. 21 When King Jehoiakim(Y) and all his officers and officials(Z) heard his words, the king was determined to put him to death.(AA) But Uriah heard of it and fled(AB) in fear to Egypt. 22 King Jehoiakim, however, sent Elnathan(AC) son of Akbor to Egypt, along with some other men. 23 They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him struck down with a sword(AD) and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.)(AE)
24 Furthermore, Ahikam(AF) son of Shaphan supported Jeremiah, and so he was not handed over to the people to be put to death.

Jeremiah Persecuted by Pashhur
20 Now (A)Pashhur the priest, the son of (B)Immer, who was (C)chief officer in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things. 2 Then (D)Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet, and put him (E)in the stocks that were in the upper (F)Benjamin Gate of the house of the Lord. 3 The next day, when (G)Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “The Lord does not call your name (H)Pashhur, but Terror on Every Side. 4 For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will make you (I)a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They shall fall by the sword of their enemies while you look on. And I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. He shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall strike them down with the sword. 5 Moreover, (J)I will give all the wealth of the city, all its gains, all its (K)prized belongings, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies, who shall plunder them and seize them and carry them to Babylon. 6 And you, (L)Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. To Babylon you shall go, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, (M)to whom you have prophesied falsely.”

Jeremiah and Pashhur
20 When the priest Pashhur son of Immer,(A) the official(B) in charge of the temple of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things, 2 he had Jeremiah the prophet beaten(C) and put in the stocks(D) at the Upper Gate of Benjamin(E) at the Lord’s temple. 3 The next day, when Pashhur released him from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “The Lord’s name(F) for you is not Pashhur, but Terror on Every Side.(G) 4 For this is what the Lord says: ‘I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; with your own eyes(H) you will see them fall by the sword of their enemies. I will give(I) all Judah into the hands of the king of Babylon, who will carry(J) them away to Babylon or put them to the sword. 5 I will deliver all the wealth(K) of this city into the hands of their enemies—all its products, all its valuables and all the treasures of the kings of Judah. They will take it away(L) as plunder and carry it off to Babylon. 6 And you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house will go into exile to Babylon. There you will die and be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied(M) lies.’”

Jeremiah's Complaint
10 (A)Woe is me, my mother, that you bore me, a man of strife and contention to the whole land! (B)I have not lent, nor have I borrowed, yet all of them curse me. 11 The Lord said, “Have I not[a] set you free for their good? Have I not pleaded for you before the enemy in the time of trouble and in the time of distress? 12 Can one break iron, iron (C)from the north, and bronze?
13 (D)“Your wealth and your treasures I will give as (E)spoil, without price, for all your sins, throughout all your territory. 14 I will make you serve your enemies (F)in a land that you do not know, (G)for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn forever.”
15 (H)O Lord, you know;
(I)remember me and visit me,
(J)(K)and take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
In your forbearance take me not away;
(L)know that (M)for your sake I bear reproach.
16 Your words were found, (N)and I ate them,
and (O)your words became to me a joy
and the delight of my heart,
(P)for I am called by your name,
O Lord, God of hosts.
17 (Q)I did not sit in the company of revelers,
nor did I rejoice;
(R)I sat alone, because your hand was upon me,
for you had filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain unceasing,
(S)my wound incurable,
refusing to be healed?
Will you be to me (T)like a deceitful brook,
like waters that fail?
19 Therefore thus says the Lord:
(U)“If you return, I will restore you,
and you shall (V)stand before me.
If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless,
you shall be as my mouth.
They shall turn to you,
but you shall not turn to them.
20 (W)And I will make you to this people
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you,
(X)but they shall not prevail over you,
(Y)for I am with you
to save you and deliver you,
declares the Lord.
21 (Z)I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked,
and redeem you from the grasp of (AA)the ruthless.”

New International Version
10 Alas, my mother, that you gave me birth,(A)
a man with whom the whole land strives and contends!(B)
I have neither lent(C) nor borrowed,
yet everyone curses(D) me.
11 The Lord said,
“Surely I will deliver you(E) for a good purpose;
surely I will make your enemies plead(F) with you
in times of disaster and times of distress.
12 “Can a man break iron—
iron from the north(G)—or bronze?
13 “Your wealth(H) and your treasures
I will give as plunder,(I) without charge,(J)
because of all your sins
throughout your country.(K)
14 I will enslave you to your enemies
in[a] a land you do not know,(L)
for my anger will kindle a fire(M)
that will burn against you.”
15 Lord, you understand;
remember me and care for me.
Avenge me on my persecutors.(N)
You are long-suffering(O)—do not take me away;
think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.(P)
16 When your words came, I ate(Q) them;
they were my joy and my heart’s delight,(R)
for I bear your name,(S)
Lord God Almighty.
17 I never sat(T) in the company of revelers,
never made merry with them;
I sat alone because your hand(U) was on me
and you had filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain unending
and my wound grievous and incurable?(V)
You are to me like a deceptive brook,
like a spring that fails.(W)
19 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“If you repent, I will restore you
that you may serve(X) me;
if you utter worthy, not worthless, words,
you will be my spokesman.(Y)
Let this people turn to you,
but you must not turn to them.
20 I will make you a wall(Z) to this people,
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you
but will not overcome(AA) you,
for I am with you
to rescue and save you,”(AB)
declares the Lord.
21 “I will save(AC) you from the hands of the wicked(AD)
and deliver(AE) you from the grasp of the cruel.”(AF)

6 So they took Jeremiah (A)and cast him into the cistern of Malchiah, the king's son, which was in (B)the court of the guard, letting Jeremiah down (C)by ropes. (D)And there was no water in the cistern, but only mud, and (E)Jeremiah sank in the mud.
Jeremiah Rescued from the Cistern
7 When (F)Ebed-melech (G)the Ethiopian, (H)a eunuch who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern—the king was sitting (I)in the Benjamin Gate— 8 (J)Ebed-melech went from the king's house and said to the king, 9 “My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they did to Jeremiah the prophet by casting him into the cistern, and he will die there of (K)hunger, (L)for there is no bread left in the city.” 10 Then the king commanded (M)Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, “Take thirty men with you from here, and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies.” 11 So (N)Ebed-melech took the men with him and went to the house of the king, to a wardrobe in the storehouse, and took from there old rags and worn-out clothes, which he let down to Jeremiah in the cistern (O)by ropes. 12 Then (P)Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, “Put the rags and clothes between your armpits and (Q)the ropes.” Jeremiah did so. 13 Then they drew Jeremiah up with (R)ropes and lifted him out of the cistern.

7 But Ebed-Melek,(E) a Cushite,[a] an official[b](F) in the royal palace, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern. While the king was sitting in the Benjamin Gate,(G) 8 Ebed-Melek went out of the palace and said to him, 9 “My lord the king, these men have acted wickedly in all they have done to Jeremiah the prophet. They have thrown him into a cistern,(H) where he will starve to death when there is no longer any bread(I) in the city.”
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-Melek the Cushite, “Take thirty men from here with you and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies.”

He took some old rags and worn-out clothes from there and let them down with ropes(J) to Jeremiah in the cistern. 12 Ebed-Melek the Cushite said to Jeremiah, “Put these old rags and worn-out clothes under your arms to pad the ropes.” Jeremiah did so, 13 and they pulled him up with the ropes and lifted him out of the cistern. And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.(K)
