Jeremiah 38:4-6 And the governors say to the sovereign, We beseech you, deathify this man: for thus he slackens the hands of the men of war who survive in this city and the hands of all the people, in wording such words to them: for this man seeks not the shalom of this people, but their evil.

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ And the governors say to the sovereign, We beseech you, deathify this man: for thus he slackens the hands of the men of war who survive in this city and the hands of all the people, in wording such words to them: for this man seeks not the shalom of this people, but their evil. ⁵ Then Sidqi Yah the sovereign says, Behold, he is in your hand: for the sovereign cannot word against you. ⁶ And they take Yirme Yah and cast him into the well of Malki Yah the son of Melech in the court of the target area: and they send Yirme Yah down with cords: and there is no water in the well; only mire: and Yirme Yah sinks in the mire.
