Jeremiah thrown into a cistern

38 Shephatiah son of Mattan, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jehukal^[a] son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malkijah heard what Jeremiah was telling all the people when he said, ² ‘This is what the Lord says: “Whoever stays in this city will die by the sword, famine or plague, but whoever goes over to the Babylonians^[b] will live. They will escape with their lives; they will live.” ³ And this is what the Lord says: “This city will certainly be given into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, who will capture it.”’
