My lord{H113} the king{H4428}, these men{H582} have done evil{H7489}{(H8689)} in all that they have done{H6213}{(H8804)} to Jeremiah{H3414} the prophet{H5030}, whom they have cast{H7993}{(H8689)} into the dungeon{H953}; and he is like to die{H4191}{(H8799)} for{H6440} hunger{H7458} in the place{H8478} where he is: for there is no more bread{H3899} in the city{H5892}.

Thus Jeremiah{H3414} remained{H3427}{(H8799)} in the court{H2691} of the prison{H4307}. 1 Then Shephatiah{H8203} the son{H1121} of Mattan{H4977}, and Gedaliah{H1436} the son{H1121} of Pashur{H6583}, and Jucal{H3116} the son{H1121} of Shelemiah{H8018}, and Pashur{H6583} the son{H1121} of Malchiah{H4441}, heard{H8085}{(H8799)} the words{H1697} that Jeremiah{H3414} had spoken{H1696}{(H8764)} unto all the people{H5971}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, 2 Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}, He that remaineth{H3427}{(H8802)} in this city{H5892} shall die{H4191}{(H8799)} by the sword{H2719}, by the famine{H7458}, and by the pestilence{H1698}: but he that goeth forth{H3318}{(H8802)} to the Chaldeans{H3778} shall live{H2421}{(H8804)}; for he shall have his life{H5315} for a prey{H7998}, and shall live{H2421}{(H8799)}{(H8675)}{H2425}{(H8804)}. 3 Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}, This city{H5892} shall surely{H5414}{(H8736)} be given{H5414}{(H8735)} into the hand{H3027} of the king{H4428} of Babylon's{H894} army{H2428}, which shall take{H3920}{(H8804)} it. 4 Therefore the princes{H8269} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428}, We beseech thee, let this man{H376} be put to death{H4191}{(H8714)}: for thus{H3651} he weakeneth{H7503}{(H8764)} the hands{H3027} of the men{H582} of war{H4421} that remain{H7604}{(H8737)} in this city{H5892}, and the hands{H3027} of all the people{H5971}, in speaking{H1696}{(H8763)} such words{H1697} unto them: for this man{H376} seeketh{H1875}{(H8802)} not the welfare{H7965} of this people{H5971}, but the hurt{H7451}. 5 Then Zedekiah{H6667} the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Behold, he is in your hand{H3027}: for the king{H4428} is not he that can{H3201}{(H8799)} do any thing{H1697} against you. 6 Then took{H3947}{(H8799)} they Jeremiah{H3414}, and cast{H7993}{(H8686)} him into the dungeon{H953} of Malchiah{H4441} the son{H1121} of Hammelech{H4428}, that was in the court{H2691} of the prison{H4307}: and they let down{H7971}{(H8762)} Jeremiah{H3414} with cords{H2256}. And in the dungeon{H953} there was no water{H4325}, but mire{H2916}: so Jeremiah{H3414} sunk{H2883}{(H8799)} in the mire{H2916}.
