Jeremiah 38:4-6
4Then the 1officialsH8269 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “PleaseH4994 have thisH2088 manH376 putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191, sinceH3588H5921H3651 he is 23discouragingH7503H3027 the menH376 of warH4421 who are leftH7604 in thisH2088 cityH5892 and 4allH3605 the peopleH5971, by speakingH1696 wordsH1697 like theseH428 to them; for thisH2088 manH376 5is not seekingH1875 the well-beingH7965 of thisH2088 peopleH5971, but ratherH3588H518 their harmH7463.”
5And KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, he is in your 6handsH3027; for the kingH4428 7canH3201 do nothingH369H1697 against you.”
6So they tookH3947 JeremiahH3414 and threwH7993 him into the 8cisternH953 of MalchijahH4441 the king’sH4428 sonH1121, whichH834 was in the courtyardH2691 of the guardhouseH4307; and they letH7971 JeremiahH3414 downH7971 with ropesH2256. Now in the cisternH953 thereH369 wasH369 noH369 waterH4325 but only 9mudH2916, and JeremiahH3414 sankH2883 into the mudH2916.
