Jeremiah 38 📜 📕 ↷
7 But Abdemelech the Aethiopian an eunuch, that was in the king's house, heard that they had cast Jeremy into the lake: moreover the king sat in the gate of Benjamin.📜💬📚
8 And Abdemelech went out of the king's house, and spake to the king, saying:📜💬📚
9 My lord king, these men have done all things naughtily, whatsoever they have done against Jeremy the Prophet, casting him into the lake, that he may die for famine, for there is no more bread in the city.📜💬📚
10 The king therefore commanded Abdemelech the Aethiopian, saying: Take with thee from hence thirty men, and lift up Jeremy the Prophet out of the lake, before he die.📜💬📚
11 Abdemelech therefore taking the men with him, entered into the king's house, that was under the cellar: and he took thence old rags, and old things that were rotten: and he let them down to Jeremy into the lake by cords.📜💬📚
12 And Abdemelech the Aethiopian said to Jeremy: Put the old rags, and these rent and rotten things under the cubit of thine arms, & upon the ropes: Jeremy therefore did so.📜💬📚
13 And they drew out Jeremy with the cords, and brought him forth out of the lake. And Jeremy remained in the entry of the prison.📜💬📚
