²⁰ Now, my master and king, I beg you, don’t send me back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, or I’ll die there.” ²¹ So King Zedekiah gave orders that Jeremiah be held in the prison quarters and that he receive a loaf of bread daily from the street vendors^[a]—until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the prison quarters.
