Jeremiah Imprisoned

32 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the ^(A)tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. ² Now at that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the ^(B)court of the guard, which was in the house of the king of Judah, ³ because Zedekiah king of Judah had ^(C)shut him up, saying, “Why do you ^(D)prophesy, saying, ‘^(E)Thus says the Lord, “Behold, I am about to ^(F)give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will take it; ⁴ and Zedekiah king of Judah will ^(G)not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but he will surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will ^(H)speak with him ^[a]face to face and see him eye to eye; ⁵ and he will ^(I)take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will be there until I visit him,” declares the Lord. “If you fight against the Chaldeans, you will ^(J)not succeed”’?”

⁶ And Jeremiah said, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, ⁷ ‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle is coming to you, saying, “Buy for yourself my field which is at ^(K)Anathoth, for you have the ^(L)right of redemption to buy it.”’ ⁸ Then Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the ^(M)court of the guard according to the word of the Lord and said to me, ‘Buy my field, please, that is at ^(N)Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for you have the right of possession and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the ^(O)word of the Lord.

⁹ “I bought the field which was at Anathoth from Hanamel my uncle’s son, and I ^(P)weighed out the silver for him, seventeen ^(Q)shekels of silver.
