When Jeremiah had entered into the house of the pit, and into the cells, then Jeremiah remained there many days.
For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
And they took Jeremiah and threw him into the pit of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, which was in the court of the prison. And they let Jeremiah down with ropes. And there was no water in the pit, only mud. So Jeremiah sank into the mud.
They have cut off my life in the pit, and cast a stone at me.
I called on Your name, O Jehovah, out of the lowest pit.
