So they left off speaking{H2790}{(H8686)} with him; for the matter{H1697} was not perceived{H8085}{(H8738)}. 28 So Jeremiah{H3414} abode{H3427}{(H8799)} in the court{H2691} of the prison{H4307} until the day{H3117} that Jerusalem{H3389} was taken{H3920}{(H8738)}: and he was there when Jerusalem{H3389} was taken{H3920}{(H8738)}.
