For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah’s house.

So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray you, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.

So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the cistern: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

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

And it shall be, that you shall drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.

And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

In famine he shall redeem you from death: and in war from the power of the sword.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

O fear the LORD, you his saints: for there is no lack to them that fear him.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land, and verily you shall be fed.

They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turns it wherever he will.

He shall dwell on high: his place of defense shall be the fortresses of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the cistern; and he is likely to die from hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.

And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

And he shall besiege you in all your gates, until your high and fortified walls come down, in which you trusted, throughout all your land: and he shall besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land, which the LORD your God has given you.

So that the man that is gentle among you, and very refined, his eye shall show no compassion toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave behind:

The gentle and refined woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot upon the ground because of her gentleness and refinement, her eye shall show no compassion toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,

And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no food for the people of the land.

My eyes do fail with tears, my soul is troubled, my heart is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the infants faint in the streets of the city.

They say to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? when they faint as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.

Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.

Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom you have done this. Shall the women eat their offspring, the children of their tender care? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?

The tongue of the nursing child clings to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaks it unto them.

They that did eat delicacies are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace ash heaps.

They that are slain with the sword are better than they that are slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for lack of the fruits of the field.

The hands of the compassionate women have boiled their own children: they were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.

So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the cistern: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

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

Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.

Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' position: and Felix, willing to show the Jews a favor, left Paul bound.

And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was allowed to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.

And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation by which you are called,

For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that in this I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

In which I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
