Jeremiah 37:18-21
Expanded Bible
18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “What ·crime [sin] have I done against you or your officers or the people of Jerusalem? Why have you ·thrown [placed] me into ·prison [L the house of confinement]? 19 Where are your prophets that prophesied this message to you: ‘The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land’ [C Judah]? 20 But now, my master, king [C of Judah], please listen to me, and please ·do what I ask of [L let my pleas for help/supplications fall before] you. Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the ·royal secretary [scribe], or I will die there!”
21 So King Zedekiah gave orders for Jeremiah to be put under guard in the courtyard of the guard and to be given bread each day from the street of the bakers until there was no more bread in the city. So he stayed under guard in the courtyard of the guard.

New American Standard Bible
18 Moreover, Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “(A)In what way have I sinned against you, or your servants, or this people, that you have put me in prison? 19 And (B)where 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, my lord the king; please let my (D)plea [a]come before you and do not make me return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, so that I will not die there.” 21 Then King Zedekiah gave a command, and they placed Jeremiah in custody in the (E)courtyard of the guardhouse, and gave him a loaf of (F)bread daily from the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was (G)gone. So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guardhouse.
