Legacy Standard Bible
18 Moreover, Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “(A)In what way have I sinned against you or against your servants or against this people, that you have put me in prison? 19 (B)Where then are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The (C)king of Babylon will not come against you or against this land’? 20 But now, please listen, O my lord the king; please let my (D)supplication [a]come before you, and do not make me return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, that I may not die there.” 21 Then King Zedekiah gave commandment, and they committed Jeremiah to the (E)court of the guard and gave him a loaf of (F)bread daily from the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city had (G)come to an end. So Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.

Let me bring my petition before you: Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, or I will die there.”(C)

King James Version
18 Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
19 Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
