“Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.”
King James Version (KJV)
38:5 For the king - I see I am as it were no king. I can do nothing against you, you will do what you please.
