Jeremiah 38:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² Then Ebed-melech the Ethiopian called down to Jeremiah, “Put those old rags and clothes under your armpits to pad the ropes.” Jeremiah did so, ¹³ and then they pulled him up with the ropes out of the cistern. But Jeremiah continued to remain in the court of the guard.

¹⁴ King Zedekiah summoned the prophet Jeremiah and received him at the third entrance to the temple of the Lord. “I have something to ask you,” the king said to Jeremiah. “Do not conceal anything from me.”
