Jeremiah 38:10-12

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁰ Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, “Take thirty men from here ^[a]under your authority and bring up Jeremiah the prophet from the cistern before he dies.” ¹¹ So Ebed-melech took the men under his ^[b]authority and went into the king’s palace to a place beneath the storeroom and took from there worn-out clothes and worn-out rags and let them down by ropes into the cistern to Jeremiah. ¹² Then Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, “Now put these worn-out clothes and rags under your armpits under the ropes”; and Jeremiah did so.
