Jeremiah 38:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ Now when Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian, one of the Eunuchs who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon and that the king sat in the gate of Benjamin,

⁸ Ebed-Melech went out of the king’s house and spoke to the king, saying,

⁹ “My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the Prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon. And he dies of hunger in the place where he is. For there is no more bread in the city.”
