Jeremiah 38:5-6

YLT(i) 5 And the king Zedekiah saith, `Lo, he is in your hand: for the king is not able for you in anything.' 6 And they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malchiah son of the king, that is in the court of the prison, and they send down Jeremiah with cords; and in the pit there is no water, but mire, and Jeremiah sinketh in the mire.
