Jeremiah 38:3-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 38
3
This is what the
Lord
says: ‘This city will certainly be handed over to the army of the king of Babylon and he will capture it.’?'
4
Then the officials said to the king, 'Please have this man put to death, since he is discouraging the men of war who are left in this city and all the people, by speaking words like these to them; for this man is not seeking the well-being of this people, but rather their harm.'
5
And King Zedekiah said, 'Behold, he is in your hands; for the king can
do
nothing against you.'
6
So they took Jeremiah and threw him into the 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
mud, and Jeremiah sank into the mud.
7
But Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, while he was in the king’s palace, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the cistern. Now the king was sitting at the Gate of Benjamin;
King James Version
Chapter 38
3
Thus saith the
Lord
, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.
4
Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
5
Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you.
6
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.
7
Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;

Chapter 38
3
This is what the
Lord
says: ‘This city will most certainly be handed over to the king of Babylon’s army, and he will capture it.’"
4
The officials then said to the king, "This man ought to die, because he is weakening the morale of the warriors who remain in this city and of all the people by speaking to them in this way. This man is not pursuing the welfare of this people, but their harm."
5
King Zedekiah said, "Here he is; he’s in your hands since the king can’t do anything against you."
6
So they took Jeremiah and dropped him into the cistern of Malchiah the king’s son, which was in the guard’s courtyard, lowering Jeremiah with ropes. There was no water in the cistern, only mud, and Jeremiah sank in the mud.

3
The
Lord
also says: ‘The city of Jerusalem will certainly be handed over to the army of the king of Babylon, who will capture it.’'
4
So these officials went to the king and said, 'Sir, this man must die! That kind of talk will undermine the morale of the few fighting men we have left, as well as that of all the people. This man is a traitor!'
5
King Zedekiah agreed. 'All right,' he said. 'Do as you like. I can’t stop you.'
6
So the officials took Jeremiah from his cell and lowered him by ropes into an empty cistern in the prison yard. It belonged to Malkijah, a member of the royal family. There was no water in the cistern, but there was a thick layer of mud at the bottom, and Jeremiah sank down into it.
7
But Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, an important court official, heard that Jeremiah was in the cistern. At that time the king was holding court at the Benjamin Gate,
