- before Jeremiah:
- "The wordª which¹ came¹ unto¹ Jeremiahª from¹¹ the LORD,ª when kingª Zedekiahª sentª° unto¹ him¹ Pashurª the sonª of Melchiah,ª and Zephaniahª the sonª of Maaseiahª the priest,ª saying,ª° ... For¹ I have setª° my faceª against this¹ cityª for evil,ª and not¹ for good,ª saithª° the LORD:ª it shall be givenª° into the handª of the kingª of Babylon,ª and he shall burnª° it with fire.ª" {Jer 21:1-10} + "I spakeª° also to¹ Zedekiahª kingª of Judahª according to all¹ these¹ words,ª saying,ª° Bringª°¹ your necksª under the yokeª of the kingª of Babylon,ª and serveª° him and his people,ª and live.ª° ... They shall be carriedª° to Babylon,ª and there¹ shall they be¹ until¹ the dayª that I visitª° them, saithª° the LORD;ª then will I bring²° them up,¹ and restoreª° them to¹ this¹ place.ª" {Jer 27:12-22} + "And it came to pass¹ the same¹ year,ª in the beginningª of the reignª of Zedekiahª kingª of Judah,ª in the fourthª year,ª [and] in the fifthª month,ª [that] Hananiahª the sonª of Azurª the prophet,ª which¹ [was] of Gibeon,ª¹ spakeª° unto¹ me in the houseª of the LORD,ª in the presenceª of the priestsª and of all¹ the people,ª saying,ª° ... So Hananiahª the prophetª diedª° the same¹ yearª in the seventhª month.ª" {Jer 28:1-17} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª the Godª of Israel;ª Goª° and speakª° to¹ Zedekiahª kingª of Judah,ª and tellª°¹ him, Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Behold,¹ I will giveª°¹ this¹ cityª into the handª of the kingª of Babylon,ª and he shall burnª° it with fire:ª ... Behold,¹ I will command,ª° saithª° the LORD,ª and cause them to returnª° to¹ this¹ city;ª and they shall fightª° against¹ it, and takeª° it, and burnª° it with fire:ª and I will makeª° the citiesª of Judahª a desolationª without¹¹ an inhabitant.ª°" {Jer 34:2-22} + "But neither¹ he,¹ nor his servants,ª nor the peopleª of the land,ª did hearkenª° unto¹ the wordsª of the LORD,ª which¹ he spakeª° byª the prophetª Jeremiah.ª ... Then Zedekiahª the kingª commandedª° that they should commitª°¹ Jeremiahª into the courtª of the prison,ª and that they should giveª° him dailyª a pieceª of breadª out of the bakers'ª° street,ª¹ until¹ all¹ the breadª in¹ the cityª were spent.ª° Thus Jeremiahª remainedª° in the courtª of the prison.ª" {Jer 37:2-21} + "Then Zedekiahª the kingª sent,ª° and tookª°¹ Jeremiahª the prophetª unto¹ him into¹ the thirdª entryª that¹ [is] in the houseª of the LORD:ª and the kingª saidª° unto¹ Jeremiah,ª I¹ will askª° thee a thing;ª hideª° nothing¹¹ from¹ me. ... So Jeremiahª abodeª° in the courtª of the prisonª until¹ the dayª that¹ Jerusalemª was taken:ª° and he was¹ [there] when¹ Jerusalemª was taken.ª°" {Jer 38:14-28}
