Jeremiah 38:26-28

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁶ “then you shall say to them, ‘I humbly petitioned the king not to make me return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.’”

²⁷ Then all the princes came to Jeremiah and asked him. And he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So, they stopped speaking with him. For the matter was not heard.

²⁸ So Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken. And he was there when Jerusalem was taken.
