Your ‘prophets’ who told you that the king of Babylonia would not attack you or invade the land, where are they now? So now, please hear me, my lord the king. Let my humble plea come before you.

Each day a loaf of bread from the bakery was given to me until all the bread of the city was gone. So I remained there in the palace courtyard.
