Jeremiah 32:1-3

Contemporary English Version

Jeremiah Buys a Field

32 ^(A) The Lord spoke to me in the tenth year that Zedekiah^[a] was king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year that Nebuchadnezzar^[b] was king of Babylonia. ² At that time, the Babylonian army had surrounded Jerusalem, and I was in the prison at the courtyard of the palace guards. ³ Zedekiah had ordered me to be held there because I told everyone that the Lord had said:

I am the Lord, and I am about to let the king of Babylonia conquer Jerusalem.
