8 Saiu, pois, Ebede-Meleque da casa do rei, e falou ao rei, dizendo:
9 o rei, senhor meu, estes homens fizeram mal em tudo quanto fizeram a Jeremias, o profeta, lançando-o na cisterna; de certo morrerá no lugar onde se acha, por causa da fome, pois não há mais pão na cidade.
10 Deu ordem, então, o rei a Ebede-Meleque, o etíope, dizendo: Toma contigo daqui três homens, e tira Jeremias, o profeta, da cisterna, antes que morra.
