Jeremiah 32:1-5

This is the word the LORD spoke to Jeremiah in the tenth year Zedekiah was king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. At that time the army of the king of Babylon was surrounding Jerusalem. Jeremiah the prophet was under arrest in the courtyard of the guard, which was at the palace of the king of Judah. Zedekiah king of Judah had put Jeremiah in prison there. Zedekiah had asked, “Why have you prophesied the things you have?” (Jeremiah had said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘I will soon hand the city of Jerusalem over to the king of Babylon, and he will capture it. Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape from the Babylonian army, but he will surely be handed over to the king of Babylon. And he will speak to the king of Babylon face to face and see him with his own eyes. The king will take Zedekiah to Babylon, where he will stay until I have punished him,’ says the LORD. ‘If you fight against the Babylonians, you will not succeed.’ ”)
