King Zedekiah asks Jeremiah secretly for a word from the LORD, and commands that he be committed to the court of the guard

시드기야왕이 예레미야에게 여호와께로서 받은 말씀을 비밀히 묻고 그를 시위대 뜰에 두라고 명함

Jeremiah 37:17–21: Zedekiah the king sends and has Jeremiah (WEB “him”) brought out. The king asks him secretly in his house, “Is there any word from the LORD?” Jeremiah says, “There is.” He also says, “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.” Moreover Jeremiah says to King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison? Now where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you, nor against this land’? Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.” The text says, “Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard. They gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.” The Korean Revised Version has the king ask him 왕궁에서 (in the king’s house), where WEB reads “in his house”, and gives 37:21 as the king’s command to put Jeremiah in the court of the guard and to give him a loaf of bread daily (시드기야왕이 명하여 예레미야를 시위대 뜰에 두고 … 그에게 주게 하매).
