Jeremiah 38:4-6
Lexham English Bible

4 Then the officials said to the king, “Please, this man must be killed, because[a] he is making slack the hands of the soldiers[b] who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking to them words like these, for this man is not seeking for welfare[c] to this people, but only[d] for harm.” 5 And Zedekiah the king said, “Look, he is in your hand, for the king is not able to do a thing against you.” 6 So they took Jeremiah and threw him into the pit[e] of Malchiah, the son of the king, which was in the courtyard of the guard. And they let Jeremiah down by ropes. Now in the pit[f] there was no water,[g] but only[h] mud, and Jeremiah sank in the mud.
