Jeremiah 38:7 in Context — Jeremiah 38

5 E disse o rei Zedequias: Eis que ele está em vossas mãos; pois o rei não poderia fazer contra vós coisa alguma.

6 Então eles tomaram a Jeremias, e o lançaram na cisterna de Malquias filho de rei, que estava no pátio da guarda; e meteram a Jeremias com cordas. Porém na cisterna não havia água, mas sim lama; e Jeremias se atolou na lama.

7 E Ebede-Meleque, o cuxita, um eunuco que estava na casa do rei, tendo ouvido que haviam posto Jeremias na cisterna, e estando o rei sentado à porta de Benjamim,

8 Logo Ebede-Meleque saiu da casa do rei, e falou ao rei, dizendo:

9 Ó rei, meu senhor o rei, estes homens fizeram o mal em tudo quanto têm feito com o profeta Jeremias, ao qual lançaram na cisterna; porque ali ele morrerá de fome, pois não há mais pão na cidade.
