Jeremiah 38:7-13
7NowH3588 when Ebed-melechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, an eunuchH5631, whichH1931 was in the king’sH4428 houseH1004, heardH8085 that they had putH5414 JeremiahH3414 in the dungeon; the kingH4428 then sittingH3427 in the gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144;
8Ebed-melechH5663 wentH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and spake to the kingH4428, sayingH559,
9My lordH113 the kingH4428, theseH428 menH376 have doneH6213 evilH7489 in allH3605 that they have doneH6213 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, whomH834 they have castH7993 intoH413 the dungeon; and he is like to dieH4191 in the placeH8478 whereH834 he is becauseH3588 of the famineH7458: for there is noH369 moreH5750 breadH3899 in the cityH5892.
10Then the kingH4428 commandedH6680 Ebed-melechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, sayingH559, TakeH3947 from hence thirtyH7970 menH376 with thee, and takeH3947 upH5927 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 outH4480 of the dungeon, beforeH2962 he dieH4191.
11SoH3947 Ebed-melechH5663 tookH3947 the menH376 with him, and wentH935 intoH413 the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 underH8478 the treasuryH214, and tookH3947 thence old castH7971 clouts and old rotten ragsH4418, and letH7971 them downH7971 by cordsH2256 intoH413 the dungeon to JeremiahH3414.
12And Ebed-melechH5663 the EthiopianH3569 saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414, PutH7760 nowH4994 theseH7760 old cast clouts and rotten ragsH4418 underH8478 thine armholes underH8478 the cordsH2256. And JeremiahH3414 didH6213 soH3651.
13SoH4480 they drewH4900 upH5927 JeremiahH3414 with the cordsH2256, and tookH853 him upH5927 outH4480 of the dungeon: and JeremiahH3414 remainedH3427 in the courtH2691 of the guardH4307.
