For this man is not seeking (C)the welfare of this people, but their harm.” 5 King Zedekiah said, “Behold, he is in your hands, (D)for the king can do nothing against you.” 6 So they took Jeremiah (E)and cast him into the cistern of Malchiah, the king's son, which was in (F)the court of the guard, letting Jeremiah down (G)by ropes.
