9 My|strong="H3605" lord the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428", these|strong="H6213" men|strong="H6213" have|strong="H5030" done|strong="H6213" evil|strong="H7489" in|strong="H6213" all|strong="H3605" that|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" have|strong="H5030" done|strong="H6213" to|strong="H4191" Jeremiah|strong="H3414" the|strong="H3605" prophet|strong="H5030", whom|strong="H6440" they|strong="H3588" have|strong="H5030" cast|strong="H7993" into|strong="H6213" the|strong="H3605" dungeon; and|strong="H4428" he|strong="H3588" is|strong="H3605" like|strong="H6213" to|strong="H4191" die|strong="H4191" in|strong="H6213" the|strong="H3605" place|strong="H8478" where|strong="H8478" he|strong="H3588" is|strong="H3605" because|strong="H3588" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" famine|strong="H7458": for|strong="H3588" there|strong="H3605" is|strong="H3605" no|strong="H6213" more|strong="H5750" bread|strong="H3899" in|strong="H6213" the|strong="H3605" city|strong="H5892".
10 Then|strong="H2088" the|strong="H3947" king|strong="H4428" commanded|strong="H6680" Ebed-melech|strong="H5663" the|strong="H3947" Ethiopian|strong="H3569", saying, Take|strong="H3947" from|strong="H4480" hence|strong="H2088" thirty|strong="H7970" men|strong="H3947" with|strong="H3027" thee|strong="H3027", and|strong="H4428" take|strong="H3947" up|strong="H5927" Jeremiah|strong="H3414" the|strong="H3947" prophet|strong="H5030" out|strong="H4480" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3947" dungeon, before|strong="H4480" he|strong="H3027" die|strong="H4191".
11 So|strong="H3947" Ebed-melech|strong="H5663" took|strong="H3947" the|strong="H3947" men|strong="H3947" with|strong="H1004" him|strong="H7971", and|strong="H7971" went|strong="H4428" into|strong="H3027" the|strong="H3947" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3947" king|strong="H4428" under|strong="H8478" the|strong="H3947" treasury|strong="H1004", and|strong="H7971" took|strong="H3947" thence|strong="H3947" old|strong="H1094" cast|strong="H7971" clouts|strong="H5499" and|strong="H7971" old|strong="H1094" rotten|strong="H1094" rags|strong="H4418", and|strong="H7971" let|strong="H7971" them|strong="H7971" down|strong="H7971" by|strong="H3027" cords|strong="H2256" into|strong="H3027" the|strong="H3947" dungeon|strong="H1004" to|strong="H7971" Jeremiah|strong="H3414".
12 And|strong="H3027" Ebed-melech|strong="H5663" the|strong="H6213" Ethiopian|strong="H3569" said|strong="H3651" unto|strong="H6213" Jeremiah|strong="H3414", Put|strong="H7760" now|strong="H4994" these|strong="H6213" old|strong="H1094" cast|strong="H1094" clouts|strong="H5499" and|strong="H3027" rotten|strong="H1094" rags|strong="H4418" under|strong="H8478" thine|strong="H7760" armholes under|strong="H8478" the|strong="H6213" cords|strong="H2256". And|strong="H3027" Jeremiah|strong="H3414" did|strong="H6213" so|strong="H3651".
13 So|strong="H4480" they|strong="H2691" drew|strong="H4900" up|strong="H5927" Jeremiah|strong="H3414" with|strong="H3427" the|strong="H4480" cords|strong="H2256", and|strong="H5927" took|strong="H5927" him|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" out|strong="H4480" of|strong="H3427" the|strong="H4480" dungeon: and|strong="H5927" Jeremiah|strong="H3414" remained|strong="H3427" in|strong="H3427" the|strong="H4480" court|strong="H2691" of|strong="H3427" the|strong="H4480" guard|strong="H4307".
14 Then|strong="H3947" Zedekiah|strong="H6667" the|strong="H3947" king|strong="H4428" sent|strong="H7971", and|strong="H3068" took|strong="H3947" Jeremiah|strong="H3414" the|strong="H3947" prophet|strong="H5030" unto|strong="H3068" him|strong="H7971" into|strong="H3947" the|strong="H3947" third|strong="H7992" entry|strong="H3996" that|strong="H3068" is|strong="H3068" in|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3947" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3947" LORD|strong="H3068": and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3947" king|strong="H4428" said|strong="H1697" unto|strong="H3068" Jeremiah|strong="H3414", I|strong="H1697" will|strong="H3068" ask|strong="H7592" thee|strong="H3947" a|strong="H3068" thing|strong="H1697"; hide|strong="H3582" nothing|strong="H1697" from|strong="H4480" me|strong="H7971".
15 Then|strong="H8085" Jeremiah|strong="H3414" said|strong="H8085" unto|strong="H8085" Zedekiah|strong="H6667", If|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" declare|strong="H5046" it|strong="H3588" unto|strong="H8085" thee|strong="H5046", wilt thou|strong="H3588" not|strong="H3808" surely|strong="H4191" put|strong="H4191" me|strong="H5046" to|strong="H4191" death|strong="H4191"? and|strong="H8085" if|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" give|strong="H3289" thee|strong="H5046" counsel|strong="H3289", thou|strong="H3588" wilt not|strong="H3808" hearken|strong="H8085" unto|strong="H8085" me|strong="H5046".
16 So|strong="H6213" Zedekiah|strong="H6667" the|strong="H5414" king|strong="H4428" sware|strong="H7650" secretly|strong="H5643" unto|strong="H5414" Jeremiah|strong="H3414", saying, As|strong="H6213" the|strong="H5414" LORD|strong="H3068" liveth|strong="H2416", that|strong="H5315" made|strong="H6213" us|strong="H5414" this|strong="H2063" soul|strong="H5315", I|strong="H5414" will|strong="H3068" not|strong="H6213" put|strong="H5414" thee|strong="H5414" to|strong="H4191" death|strong="H4191", neither will|strong="H3068" I|strong="H5414" give|strong="H5414" thee|strong="H5414" into|strong="H6213" the|strong="H5414" hand|strong="H3027" of|strong="H4428" these|strong="H2063" men|strong="H6213" that|strong="H5315" seek|strong="H1245" thy|strong="H3068" life|strong="H5315".
