Jeremiah 38:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 Then the (A)officials said to the king, “Please have this man put to death, since he is [a](B)discouraging the men of war who are left in this city and [b]all the people, by speaking words like these to them; for this man (C)is not seeking the well-being of this people, but rather their harm.” 5 And King Zedekiah said, “Behold, he is in your [c]hands; for the king (D)can do nothing against you.” 6 So they took Jeremiah and threw him into the (E)cistern of Malchijah the king’s son, which was in the courtyard of the guardhouse; and they let Jeremiah down with ropes. Now in the cistern there was no water but only (F)mud, and Jeremiah sank into the mud.
