The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: See 1.4.

While he was shut up in the court of the guard: Since this refers to what happened in an earlier episode, Good News Translation adds the word “still,” which may be a helpful model for many translators. Shut up in is more precisely “imprisoned in” (Good News Translation).
