Da griffen sie Jeremia und ließen ihn an Stricken in die Zisterne des
Prinzen Malkija hinab, die beim Wachhof lag. In der Zisterne war kein Wasser mehr, sondern nur noch Schlamm, und Jeremia sank tief darin ein.

Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.
