Jeremiah 38:11-13

Living Bible

¹¹ So Ebed-melech took thirty men and went to a palace depot for discarded supplies where used clothing was kept. There he found some old rags and discarded garments which he took to the cistern and lowered to Jeremiah on a rope. ¹² Ebed-melech called down to Jeremiah, “Use these rags under your armpits to protect you from the ropes.” Then, when Jeremiah was ready, ¹³ they pulled him out and returned him to the palace prison, where he remained.
