✦ MADE SIMPLE
So King Zedekiah ordered his guards to put Jeremiah in the prison courtyard, but he made sure Jeremiah got a daily piece of bread from the bakers' street — at least until the city ran out of food completely. And that's where Jeremiah stayed, in that prison courtyard.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Even in prison, God made sure his prophet had what he needed to survive.
