Jeremiah 37:14-16

The Voice

But Irijah would not listen to Jeremiah, so he arrested him and brought him to the city leaders. ¹⁵ They were already angry with Jeremiah because of his predictions of destruction and his advice to surrender. So they had Jeremiah beaten and placed him under arrest in the house of Jonathan the secretary (which they had made into a prison). ¹⁶ He was placed in a dark, damp cell below ground and left there for a long time.
