Jeremiah 38:10 in Context — Jeremiah 38

8 Ébed-Mélec sortit de la maison du roi, et parla ainsi au roi:

9 O roi, mon seigneur, ces hommes ont mal agi en traitant de la sorte Jérémie, le prophète, en le jetant dans la citerne; il mourra de faim là où il est, car il n’y a plus de pain dans la ville.

10 Le roi donna cet ordre à Ébed-Mélec, l’Éthiopien: Prends ici trente hommes avec toi, et tu retireras de la citerne Jérémie, le prophète, avant qu’il ne meure.

11 Ébed-Mélec prit avec lui les hommes, et se rendit à la maison du roi, dans un lieu au-dessous du trésor; il en sortit des lambeaux usés et de vieux haillons, et les descendit à Jérémie dans la citerne, avec des cordes.

12 Ébed-Mélec, l’Éthiopien, dit à Jérémie: Mets ces lambeaux usés et ces haillons sous tes aisselles, sous les cordes. Et Jérémie fit ainsi.
