Jeremiah 38:10-12
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian,[a] ‘Take three men with you from here, and pull the prophet Jeremiah up from the cistern before he dies.’ 11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went to the house of the king, to a wardrobe of[b] the storehouse, and took from there old rags and worn-out clothes, which he let down to Jeremiah in the cistern by ropes. 12 Then Ebed-melech the Ethiopian[c] said to Jeremiah, ‘Just put the rags and clothes between your armpits and the ropes.’ Jeremiah did so.
