Jeremiah 38:11-13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ So E′bed-mel′ech took the men with him and went to the house of the king, to a wardrobe of^[a] the storehouse, and took from there old rags and worn-out clothes, which he let down to Jeremiah in the cistern by ropes. ¹² Then E′bed-mel′ech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, “Put the rags and clothes between your armpits and the ropes.” Jeremiah did so. ¹³ Then they drew Jeremiah up with ropes and lifted him out of the cistern. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
