Jeremiah

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the Lord liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.

And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
