Then Jeremiah told Baruch,“ I am restricted; I am not allowed to go to the Lord’s temple.

Then Jeremiah said to him,“ I’m not allowed to go to the Lord’ s temple.

And Jeremiah ordered Baruch, saying,“ I am banned from going to the house of the Lord,

Then Jeremiah commanded Baruch,“ I am restricted; I cannot enter the temple of the LORD,

Jeremiah then commanded Baruch, saying,“ I am restricted; I cannot go into the house of the Lord.

And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying,“ I am confined, I cannot go into the house of the Lord.

And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of Jehovah:

Then Jeremiah commanded Baruch,“ I am restricted; I cannot enter the temple of the Lord,

And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I[ am] shut up; I cannot go into the house of the LORD:

Then Jeremiah told Baruch,“ I am no longer allowed to go into the LORD’s temple.

Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying,“ I am restricted. I can’t go into Yahweh’s house.

Jerusalem was then under siege from the Babylonian army, and Jeremiah was imprisoned in the courtyard of the guard in the royal palace.

While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the Lord gave him this second message:

Are they servants of Christ? I know I sound like a madman, but I have served him far more! I have worked harder, been put in prison more often, been whipped times without number, and faced death again and again.

So he arrested Jeremiah the prophet and had him whipped and put in stocks at the Benjamin Gate of the Lord’s Temple.

When I think of all this, I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus for the benefit of you Gentiles...

Some were jeered at, and their backs were cut open with whips. Others were chained in prisons.

But I am going to take off your chains and let you go. If you want to come with me to Babylon, you are welcome. I will see that you are well cared for. But if you don’t want to come, you may stay here. The whole land is before you— go wherever you like.

They were furious with Jeremiah and had him flogged and imprisoned in the house of Jonathan the secretary. Jonathan’s house had been converted into a prison.

And Jeremiah remained a prisoner in the courtyard of the guard until the day Jerusalem was captured.

I am in chains now, still preaching this message as God’s ambassador. So pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for him, as I should.

And because I preach this Good News, I am suffering and have been chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained.

So the officials took Jeremiah from his cell and lowered him by ropes into an empty cistern in the prison yard. It belonged to Malkijah, a member of the royal family. There was no water in the cistern, but there was a thick layer of mud at the bottom, and Jeremiah sank down into it.
