When Jeremiah hath entered into the house of the dungeon, and unto the cells, then Jeremiah dwelleth there many days,
for I was really stolen from the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I done nothing that they have put me in the pit.'
And they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malchiah son of the king, that is in the court of the prison, and they send down Jeremiah with cords; and in the pit there is no water, but mire, and Jeremiah sinketh in the mire.
They have cut off in a pit my life, And they cast a stone against me.
I called Thy name, O Jehovah, from the lower pit.
