2 And at that time the military forces of the king of Babylon were laying siege to Jerusalem;+ and as for Jeremiah the prophet, he happened to be under restraint in the Courtyard of the Guard+ that is in the house of the king of Judah;

5 Then Jeremiah commanded Barʹuch, saying: “I am shut up. I am unable to enter into the house of Jehovah.+

21 Accordingly King Zed·e·kiʹah commanded, and they then put Jeremiah in custody in the Courtyard of the Guard;+ and there was a giving of a round loaf of bread to him daily from the street of the bakers,+ until all the bread was exhausted from the city.+ And Jeremiah continued dwelling in the Courtyard of the Guard.+
