Jeremiah 37:12 CPDV

¹⁰  Therefore, when the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh's army,

¹¹  Jeremiah went forth from Jerusalem, to go into the land of Benjamin, and to distribute a possession there, in the sight of the citizens.

¹²  And when he had arrived at the gate of Benjamin, the keeper of the gate, whose turn it was to be there, was named Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah. And he apprehended Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 'You are fleeing to the Chaldeans.'

¹³  And Jeremiah responded: 'That is false. I am not fleeing to the Chaldeans.' But he did not listen to him. And so Irijah took Jeremiah, and he brought him to the leaders.

¹⁴  Therefore, the leaders were angry with Jeremiah, and so they beat him and sent him to the prison that was in the house of Jonathan, the scribe. For he was the chief over the prison.
