My son has vanished from the town. He has been continually with Jeremiah. On the ramparts, last night, this man heard Jeremiah inciting Baruch to desert to the enemy.
Hananiah
[To the First Sentry] Do you bear this witness?
First Sentry
Verily, prophet, while I stood on guard, there came two men. One was Jeremiah, well known to me. The other was young, little more than a boy, with black hair and flashing eyes.
Zebulon
It was Baruch my son, whom this man hath corrupted.
First Sentry
There was much talk between them. Jeremiah prophesied disaster, so that my heart grew hot within me.
