He shall have his life as a prize of war, and live.Thus says the Lord: This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon and be taken.”Then the officials said to the king,“ Let this man be put to death, for he is weakening the hands of the soldiers who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words to them. For this man is not seeking the welfare of this people, but their harm.”King Zedekiah said,“ Behold, he is in your hands, for the king can do nothing against you.”So they took Jeremiah and cast him into the cistern of Malchiah, the king’s son, which was in the court of the guard, letting Jeremiah down by ropes. And there was no water in the cistern, but only mud, and Jeremiah sank in the mud.

Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly?But lately my people have risen up as an enemy; you strip the rich robe from those who pass by trustingly with no thought of war.The women of my people you drive out from their delightful houses; from their young children you take away my splendor forever.Arise and go, for this is no place to rest, because of uncleanness that destroys with a grievous destruction.If a man should go about and utter wind and lies, saying,“ I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,” he would be the preacher for this people!
