Jeremiah Thrown into the Cistern

1 Now Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah heard the words that Jeremiah was speaking to all the people, saying,

2 "Thus says the LORD, 'He who stays in this city will die by the sword and by famine and by pestilence, but he who goes out to the Chaldeans will live and have his own life as booty and stay alive.'

3 "Thus says the LORD, 'This city will certainly be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon and he will capture it.' "

4 Then the officials said to the king, "Now let this man be put to death, inasmuch * * as he is discouraging * the men of war who are left in this city and all the people, by speaking such words to them; for this man is not seeking the well-being of this people but rather * their harm."

6 Then they took Jeremiah and cast him into the cistern of Malchijah the king's son, which was in the court 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.
