Jeremiah 32:1-5

Jeremiah Buys a Field During the Siege

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord ^ain the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, ^bwhich was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. 2 At that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet ^cwas shut up in ^dthe 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: ^eBehold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it; 4 ^fZedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, ^gbut 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 ^hhe shall take Zedekiah to Babylon, and there he shall remain until I visit him, declares the Lord. ⁱThough you fight against the Chaldeans, you shall not succeed’?”
