Jeremiah 38:5-6

5King Zedekiah said to them, ‘You can do to Jeremiah whatever you want to do. I cannot stop you.’

6So the officers took hold of Jeremiah. They put him in a deep hole in the palace yard where the guards were. Prince Malkijah had made the hole to store water. There was no water in the hole, but only mud. They tied ropes around Jeremiah and they slowly dropped him into the hole. Jeremiah fell deep into the mud.
