Jeremiah 37:20 in Context — Jeremiah 37

18 Disse mais Jeremias ao rei Zedequias: Em que pequei contra ti, contra teus servos, e contra este povo, para que me pusésseis no cárcere?

19 E onde estão vossos profetas que vos profetizavam, dizendo: Não virá o rei da Babilônia contra vós, nem contra esta terra?

20 Agora pois, ouve, por favor, ó rei, meu senhor: chegue, por favor, minha súplica diante de ti, e não me deixes voltar à casa do escriba Jônatas, para que eu não morra ali.

21 Então o rei Zedequias mandou que pusessem a Jeremias no pátio da guarda, e que lhe dessem uma porção de pão por dia, da rua dos padeiros, até todo o pão da cidade ter se acabado. Assim Jeremias ficou no pátio da guarda.
