And Abdemelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremias: Put these old rags and these rent and rotten things under thy arms and upon the cords: And Jeremias did so.
Now Abdemelech the Ethiopian, an eunuch that was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremias in the dungeon: but the king was sitting in the gate of Benjamin.
So Abdemelech taking the men with him, went into the king's house that was under the storehouse: and he took from thence old rags and old rotten things, and he let them down by cords to Jeremias into the dungeon.
