Jeremiah 37:17-21

King Zedekiah had me secretly brought to his palace. He asked me, “Has YAHWEH given you a word for me?” “Yes,” I answered. “YAHWEH is going to let you be captured by the king of Babylon. But please tell me, what crime have I committed against you, your officials, or these people that you have thrown me in prison? Your ‘prophets’ who told you that the king of Babylonia would not attack you or invade the land, where are they now? So now, please hear me, my lord the king. Let my humble plea come before you. Do not send me back to the dungeon at the court secretary Jonathan’s house. That would be my certain death!” So King Zedekiah gave orders to confine me to the palace guardhouse. Each day a loaf of bread from the bakery was given to me until all the bread of the city was gone. So I remained there in the palace courtyard.
