Jeremiah 37:20 in Context — Jeremiah 37
18 Jérémie dit encore au roi Sédécias: En quoi ai-je péché contre toi, contre tes serviteurs, et contre ce peuple, pour que vous m’ayez mis en prison?
19 Et où sont vos prophètes qui vous prophétisaient, en disant: Le roi de Babylone ne viendra pas contre vous, ni contre ce pays?
20 Maintenant, écoute, je te prie, ô roi, mon seigneur, et que mes supplications soient favorablement reçues devant toi! Ne me renvoie pas dans la maison de Jonathan, le secrétaire, de peur que je n’y meure!
21 Le roi Sédécias ordonna qu’on gardât Jérémie dans la cour de la prison, et qu’on lui donnât chaque jour un pain de la rue des boulangers, jusqu’à ce que tout le pain de la ville fût consommé. Ainsi Jérémie demeura dans la cour de la prison.
