But whoever goes out to the Chaldeans will live; they will escape with their life and survive. 3 This is what the LORD says: This city will surely be handed over to the army of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it. 4 The officials said to the king, "This man must be put to death, because he is discouraging the soldiers who remain in the city and all the people by speaking these words to them. He is not seeking the welfare of this people, but only their harm." 5 King Zedekiah replied, "He is in your hands. The king can do nothing to oppose you." 6 So they took Jeremiah and threw him into the cistern of Malchiah, the king’s son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah by ropes. There was no water in the cistern, only mud, and Jeremiah sank into the mud.
