YirmYâ ́huw (Jeremiah) 45

YirmYâ ́huw lowered into the cistern, rescued

1. And ShphaţYâ ́hu the son of Mattâ ́n and GthalYâ ́huw the son of Pashchúwr and Yuwkhál the son of ShelemYâ ́huw (and Pashchúwr the son of MalkkiyYâ ́hu) heard the words that YirmYâ ́huw was speaking to all of the people, saying: 2. "Thus says Yâ-hwéh: "The one staying in this city, he shall die by the sword, by the famine, or by the pestilence, but the one going out to the Kasdíym, he shall live, and his life shall become his for a spoil and he shall live! 3. Thus says Yâ-hwéh, surely this city shall be given into the hands of the forces of the king of Bâvél, and he shall capture her." 4. Then the officials said to the king, "This man must be killed now because concerning this, he is weakening the resolve of the men of battle remaining in this city and the hands of all of the people, saying to them such words as these, because this man, he isn’t seeking the peace for this people, as instead he seeks their harm!" 5. And the king TsithqiyYâ ́huw said, "Look, he is in your power," because there was nothing the king could do against them in the matter. 6. So they took YirmYâ ́huw and they had him thrown into the cistern of MalkkiyYâ ́huw the son of the king, that is in the courtyard of the prison, and they let down YirmYâ ́huw by ropes, but in the cistern there was no water but only mud, and YirmYâ ́huw sank down into the mud. 7. And Éveth-Mélekh the Kuwshíy, a minister of state, heard it when he was in the house of the king, that they had put YirmYâ ́huw into the cistern, but the king stayed in the gate of Binyâmín; 8. So he departed (from the house of the king) and he spoke to the king, saying: 9. "My sovereign the king, you have worked evil in what you have done to slay this man with hunger because there is no more bread in the city." 10. So the king commanded Éveth-Mélekh, saying: "Take by your authority from these thirty men and ye must raise him up from the cistern before he dies!" 11. So Éveth-Mélekh took the men by his authority and he came to the house of the king to underneath the storehouse and he took from there old rags and old ropes, and threw them to YirmYâ ́huw into the cistern. 12. And he said, "Put these (rags) upon the ropes," and YirmYâ ́huw did so. 13. Then they drew him up by the ropes, and they lifted him out of the cistern; but YirmYâ ́huw stayed in the courtyard of the prison;

TsithqiyYâ ́huw inquires yet again
14. Then the King dispatched and he took him to himself to the third entrance which is in the house of Yâ-hwéh, and the king said to YirmYâ ́huw, "I will ask you a question; do not conceal a word from me." 15. And YirmYâ ́huw said to the king, "When I tell it to you, won’t you surely kill me? And though I give you advice, you have never heeded me." 16. So the king swore an oath to him, saying, "As Yâ-hwéh lives, which worked this life for us, I will not kill you nor will I give you into the hand of those mortal men that are seeking your life." 17. And YirmYâ ́huw said to him, "Thus says Yâ-hwéh: "If you surely go out to the officials of the king of Bâvél, then your life shall live, and this city will not be burned with fire, and you will live: you and your house. 18. But if you do not go out, then this city shall be given into the hand of the Kasdíym and they will burn her with fire, and you, you shall not escape from their hand." 19. And the king said to YirmYâ ́huw, "I am fearing the Yâhuwthím which defected to the Kasdíym, lest they give me into their hand and they abuse me." 20. And YirmYâ ́huw said, "They will not give you over. Heed now the voice of Yâ-hwéh to what I am telling you and it shall go well for you and your life will live. 21. But if you are refusing to go out, this is the message that Yâ-hwéh has caused me to see: 22. And look, all of the wives that are left in the house of the king of Yâhuwthâ ́h are being brought out to the officials of the king of Bâvél and they are the ones saying, "The mortal men you were at peace with allured you and they prevailed over you, your feet were stuck in the mud, and they have been driven off backwards!" 23. Though all of your wives and children, are being brought out to the Kasdíym, yet you, you shall not escape from their hand because by the hand of the king of Bâvél you will be captured and this city will be burnt with fire." 24. Then the king said to him, "Do not let anyone know about these words and you will not die. 25. And if the officials hear that I had spoken with you and they come to you and they say to you, "Tell us now what you said to the king, do not conceal it from us and we will not kill you, and what did the king say to you?" 26. Then you will say to them: "I was pleading before the king to not send me back to the house of Yâhuwnâthâ ́n to die there." 27. And all of the officials came to YirmYâ ́huw and they questioned him and he reported to them as all of these things that the king had commanded, then they became deaf to him because the matter was not regarded. 28. So YirmYâ ́huw stayed in the courtyard of the prison until the day that Yruwshâláim was captured, and he was like that when Yruwshâláim was captured.
