Jeremiah 38:5-6

5So King Zedekiah said, “Behold, he is in your 1hands; for the king 2can do nothing against you.”

6Then they took Jeremiah and cast him into the 3cistern of Malchijah the king’s son, which was in the court of the guardhouse; and they let Jeremiah down with ropes. Now in the cistern there was no water but only 4mud, and Jeremiah sank into the mud.
