Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, that was in the court of the guard: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.
They have chased me sore like a bird, they that are mine enemies without cause.They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone upon me.Waters flowed over my head; I said, I am cut off.I called upon thy name, O Jehovah, out of the lowest dungeon.
