11 Pendant que l’armée des Chaldéens s’était éloignée de Jérusalem, à cause de l’armée de Pharaon,

12 Jérémie voulut sortir de Jérusalem, pour aller dans le pays de Benjamin et s’échapper du milieu du peuple.

13 Lorsqu’il fut à la porte de Benjamin, le commandant de la garde, nommé Jireija, fils de Schélémia, fils de Hanania, se trouvait là, et il saisit Jérémie, le prophète, en disant: Tu passes aux Chaldéens!

14 Jérémie répondit: C’est faux! Je ne passe pas aux Chaldéens. Mais Jireija ne l’écouta point; il arrêta Jérémie, et le conduisit devant les chefs.

15 Les chefs, irrités contre Jérémie, le frappèrent, et le mirent en prison dans la maison de Jonathan, le secrétaire; car ils en avaient fait une prison.
