Jeremiah, going out toward the land of Benjamin, is seized by Irijah in Benjamin’s gate and put in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe
예레미야가 베냐민 땅으로 가려다가 베냐민 문에서 이리야에게 붙잡히고 서기관 요나단의 집에 갇힘
Jeremiah 37:11–16: when the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army, Jeremiah goes out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the middle of the people. The text says, “When he was in Benjamin’s gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, ‘You are defecting to the Chaldeans!’” Then Jeremiah says, “That is false! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans.” The text says, “But he didn’t listen to him; so Irijah seized Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.” The princes are angry with Jeremiah, and strike him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; the text says, “for they had made that the prison. When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days,” and 37:17 goes on. The Korean Revised Version gives 37:12 as what Jeremiah meant to do (예루살렘을 떠나 그리로 가려하여, leaving Jerusalem to go there), gives the opening clause of 37:13 without a subject (베냐민 문에 이른즉, on coming to the gate of Benjamin), where WEB reads “When he was in Benjamin’s gate”, and reads 문지기의 두목 (the chief of the gatekeepers), where WEB reads “a captain of the guard”. WEB sets Irijah’s words in double marks at 37:13; here they stand in single marks inside the quotation.
