*
Then took they Jeremiah ,
and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech ,
that was in the court of the prison :
and they let down Jeremiah with cords .
And in the dungeon there was no water ,
but mire :
so Jeremiah sunk in the mire .
*
Now when Ebedmelech #
Ebedthe Ethiopian ,
one of the eunuchs which was in the kings house ,
heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon ;
the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin ;
*
Ebedmelech #
Ebedwent forth out of the kings house ,
and spake to the king ,
saying ,
*
My lord the king ,
these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet ,
whom they have cast into the dungeon ;
and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is :
for there is no more bread in the city .
