Jeremiah 37:15-21
37:15 The officials were very angry
at Jeremiah. They had him flogged and put in prison in the house of Jonathan, the royal secretary, which they had converted into a place for confining prisoners.
37:16 So Jeremiah was put in prison in a cell in the dungeon in Jonathan’s house. He was kept there for a long time.
37:17 Then King Zedekiah had him brought to the palace. There he questioned him privately and asked him, “Is there any message from the Lord?” Jeremiah answered, “Yes, there is.” Then he announced, “You will be handed over to the king of Babylon.”
37:18 Then Jeremiah asked King Zedekiah, “What crime have I committed against you, or the officials who serve you, or the people of Judah? What have I done to make you people throw me into prison?
37:19 Where now are the prophets who prophesied to you that the king of Babylon would not attack you or this land?
37:20 But now please listen, your royal Majesty, and grant my plea for mercy. Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan, the royal secretary. If you do, I will die there.”
37:21 Then King Zedekiah ordered that Jeremiah be committed to the courtyard of the guardhouse. He also ordered that a loaf of bread be given to him every day from the baker’s street until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah was kept in the courtyard of the guardhouse.

24:25 While Paul
was discussing
righteousness, self-control,
and the coming judgment, Felix
became
frightened and said, “Go away for now, and when I have an opportunity,
I will send for you.”

and for this reason he sent for Paul
as often as possible
and talked
with him.

had passed, Porcius Festus
succeeded Felix,
and because he wanted to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
