For then the army of the king of Babylon besieged Jerusalem. And Jeremiah the prophet was shut in the court of the guard, which was in the house of the king of Judah.

So Hanamel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the Word of Jehovah and said to me, Please buy my field in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the right of redemption is yours. Buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the Word of Jehovah.

So they drew up Jeremiah with ropes and took him up out of the pit. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.

So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was captured. And he was there when Jerusalem was captured.

And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.

And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank from the brook.

In famine He shall redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword.

Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy;

to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

O fear Jehovah, you His holy ones; for there is nothing lacking to those who fear Him.

The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek Jehovah shall not lack any good thing.

Trust in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness.

They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

When a man's ways please Jehovah, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

The king's heart is in the hand of Jehovah; like rivers of water, He turns it wherever He pleases.

he shall dwell on high; his refuge shall be the strongholds of rocks; bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have thrown into the pit. And he is likely to die of hunger in the place where he is, for there is no more bread in the city.

And in the fourth month, in the ninth of the month, the famine was so severe in the city, so that there was no food for the people of the land.

They shall besiege you at all your gates until your high and fortified walls, in which you trust, come down throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you at all your gates throughout all your land which Jehovah your God has given to you.

The eye of the man who is tender and very delicate shall quiver with hostility toward his brother, toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the rest of his children whom he leaves behind,

The eye of the tender and dainty woman among you, who would not have ventured to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her delicateness and tenderness, will quiver with hostility toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son and her daughter,

By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.

My eyes fail with tears; my stomach is upset; my liver is poured on the ground for the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the children and the babies faint in the streets of the city.

They say to their mothers, Where are grain and wine? When they faint they are like the wounded in the streets of the city, pouring out their lives into their mothers' bosoms.

Arise, cry out in the night. At the beginning of the watches, pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward Him for the life of your children who faint from hunger at the head of every street.

Behold, O Jehovah, and consider to whom You have done this. Shall the women eat their offspring, children of their tender care? Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?

The tongue of the infant cleaves to the roof of his mouth in thirst; the young children ask for bread; there is none broken to them.

Those who ate delicacies are desolate in the streets; those brought up in scarlet embrace refuse heaps.

Better off are the ones slain by the sword than the ones slain by hunger; for they pine away, pierced through for lack of the fruits of the fields.

The hands of the compassionate women have boiled their own children; they became their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

Our skin is hot like an oven because of the burning heat of famine.

So they drew up Jeremiah with ropes and took him up out of the pit. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.

So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was captured. And he was there when Jerusalem was captured.

even they sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and assigned him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, to take him home. So he lived among the people.

Now the Word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,

Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.

But after two years Porcius Festus succeeded Felix; and Felix, wanting to do the Jews a favor, left Paul bound.

And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard; but Paul was permitted to dwell by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him,

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but partake in the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God,

for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of bonds; but the Word of God is not bound.
