Jeremiah 37:15 in Context — Jeremiah 37

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.

16 Ce fut ainsi que Jérémie entra dans la prison et dans les cachots, où il resta longtemps.

17 Le roi Sédécias l’envoya chercher, et l’interrogea secrètement dans sa maison. Il dit: Y a-t-il une parole de la part de l’Éternel? Jérémie répondit: Oui. Et il ajouta: Tu seras livré entre les mains du roi de Babylone.
