Jeremiah 32:1-5
Jeremiah Buys a Field During the Siege
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord a in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, b which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. 2 At that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet c was shut up in d the court of the guard that was in the palace of the king of Judah. 3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him, saying, “Why do you prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord: e Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it; 4 f Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans g but shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye. 5 And h he shall take Zedekiah to Babylon, and there he shall remain until I visit him, declares the Lord. i Though you fight against the Chaldeans, you shall not succeed’?”
