C'est pourquoi le Roi Sédécias commanda qu'on gardât Jérémie dans la cour de la prison, et qu'on lui donnât tous les jours un pain de la place des boulangers, jusqu’à ce que tout le pain de la ville fût consumé. Ainsi Jérémie demeura dans la cour de la prison.

Alors le roi Sédécias commanda qu'on gardât Jérémie dans la cour de la prison, et qu'on lui donnât chaque jour un pain de la rue des boulangers, jusqu'à ce que tout le pain de la ville fût consommé. Ainsi Jérémie demeura dans la cour de la prison.
Darby's French Translation
Et le roi Sédécias commanda, et on fit garder Jérémie dans la cour de la prison; et on lui donna par jour un pain, de la rue des boulangers, jusqu'à ce que fut consommé tout le pain de la ville. Et Jérémie demeura dans la cour de la prison.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison,.... He did not think fit to discharge him entirely, lest it should give offence to the princes, who had committed him; but he ordered him to be put in a court belonging to the prison, where he might breathe in a freer air, and have liberty of walking to and fro, where his friends might be admitted to come and see him:

and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street; it seems there was a street in Jerusalem so called, where the bakers lived; and perhaps the king's bakers; who had orders to deliver to the prophet every day a piece or loaf of bread, as much as was sufficient for a man; or, however, as much as the scarcity of provisions in a siege would allow. Kimchi makes mention of a Midrash, which interprets this of bread made of bran, which was sold without the palace; as if it was coarser bread than what was eaten at court:

until all the bread in the city was spent; that is, as long as there was any. These were the king's orders:

thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison: until the city was taken; unless a small time that he was in the dungeon of Malchiah, out of which he was taken again, and restored to the court of the prison, and there continued; see Jeremiah 38:6.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The prison - the watch (marginal reference).

Piece - literally, a circle, i. e., a round cake.

The bakers’ street - It is usual in oriental towns for each trade to have a special place set apart for it. Compare Acts 10:6.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 37:21. Then Zedekiah - the court of the prison — Was contiguous to the king's house, where the prisoners could readily see their friends.

Give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street — From the public stores; which he received till all the provisions were spent.
