Jeremiah 38:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ So Ebed-Melech quickly left the palace. He went to speak to the king. He said to him, ⁹ ‘My master, the king, those men have done very wicked things to the prophet Jeremiah. They have put him in a deep hole. He will soon die there because there is no food in the city.’

¹⁰ Then the king gave this command to Ebed-Melech. He said, ‘Take 30 men with you from here. Go and lift Jeremiah out of the deep hole before he dies.’
