Jeremiah 38:6-13

6Then they tookH3947 JeremiahH3414, and castH7993 him into the dungeon of Malchijah the sonH1121 of Hammelech, which was in the courtH2691 of the guardH4307, and they let down JeremiahH3414 with cordsH2256. And in the dungeon there was no waterH4325, but mire; and JeremiahH3414 sank in the mire.

7And Ebed-melechH5663 the Ethiopian, a eunuchH5631 who was in the king's houseH1004, heardH8085 that they had putH5414 JeremiahH3414 in the dungeon — now the kingH4428 was sittingH3427 in the gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144,

8— and Ebed-melechH5663 wentH3318 forthH3318 out of the king's houseH1004, and spokeH1696 to the kingH4428, sayingH559,

9My lordH113, O kingH4428, these menH376 have done evilH7489 in all that they have done to the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, whom they have castH7993 into the dungeon; and he will dieH4191 by reason of the famineH7458 in the placeH8478 whereH834 he is; for there is no more breadH3899 in the cityH5892.

10And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 Ebed-melechH5663 the Ethiopian, sayingH559, TakeH3947 from hence thirtyH7970 menH376 with thee, and takeH3947 up JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 out of the dungeon, before he dieH4191.

11And Ebed-melechH5663 tookH3947 the menH376 under his order, and wentH935 into the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 under the treasuryH214, and tookH3947 thence old shreds and worn-outH1094 clothesH5499, and let them down by cordsH2256 into the dungeon to JeremiahH3414.

12And Ebed-melechH5663 the Ethiopian saidH559 to JeremiahH3414, PutH7760, I pray, [these] old shreds and ragsH4418 under thine armholes under the cordsH2256. And JeremiahH3414 did soH3651.

13And they drewH4900 up JeremiahH3414 with cordsH2256, and broughtH5927 him up out of the dungeon; and JeremiahH3414 remainedH3427 in the courtH2691 of the guardH4307.
