And it came to pass, in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year he began to reign, lifted up, the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;

and spake with him comfortable words, - and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon;

so he changed his prison garments, - and used to eat bread before his face continually, all the days of his life.
