Jeremiah 38:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ However, Ebedmelech the Ethiopian,^[a] a eunuch who worked in the royal palace, heard that they had put me in the well. At that time the king was holding court at the Benjamin Gate. ⁸ So Ebedmelech went there and said to the king, ⁹ “Your Majesty, what these men have done is wrong. They have put Jeremiah in the well, where he is sure to die of starvation, since there is no more food in the city.”
