我主我王歟、彼眾於先知耶利米、所行皆惡、下之於井、邑中乏糧、恐其因饑而死焉、

我王與、我主與、有人作不端、下先知耶利米於眢井、在邑內食且無餅、況在井中、有不饑而死乎。

我主我王、今邑中絕糧、先知耶利米在獄院原居之處、已幾乎餓死、今牧伯更下之於坑、彼眾向耶利米所行者甚不善、或作我主我王斯人將先知耶利米下之於坑彼眾向耶利米所行者甚不善耶利米必餓死於彼因城中絕糧

“ My lord the king, these men have acted wickedly in all they have done to Jeremiah the prophet. They have thrown him into a cistern, where he will starve to death when there is no longer any bread in the city.”

“ My king and master, everything these men have done to Jeremiah the prophet is evil. They have thrown him into an empty well. Soon there won’t be any more bread in the city. Then he’ll starve to death.”

“ My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they did to Jeremiah the prophet by casting him into the cistern, and he will die there of hunger, for there is no bread left in the city.”

“ My lord the king,” he said,“ these men have done a very evil thing in putting Jeremiah the prophet into the cistern. He will soon die of hunger, for almost all the bread in the city is gone.”

“ My lord the king, these men have been evil in all they have done to the prophet Jeremiah. They have dropped him into the cistern where he will die from hunger, because there is no more bread in the city.”

于是西底家王下令，把耶利米拘留在卫兵的院子里；他们每天从饼铺街拿一个饼给他，直到城里的饼都吃光了。耶利米就这样留在卫兵的院子里。玛坦的儿子示法提雅、巴施户珥的儿子基大利、示利米雅的儿子犹甲、玛基雅的儿子示巴户珥，听见耶利米对众民宣讲以下的话：“耶和华这样说：‘凡留在这城里的，必因刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫而死；但出去向迦勒底人投降的，必可以活着；他们必捡回自己的性命，得以生存。’耶和华这样说：‘这城必交在巴比伦王军队的手中，巴比伦王必攻取这城。’”于是众领袖对王说：“这人应该处死，因为他向这城里剩下的军兵和众民说了这样的话，使他们的手都软弱无力。这人不是为这人民求平安，却是惹来灾祸的。”西底家王说：“看哪！他在你们手中；王不能作什么反对你们。”他们就拿住耶利米，把他丢在王子玛基雅的井里，那井是在卫兵的院子里的；他们用绳子把耶利米缒下去。井里没有水，只有淤泥；耶利米就陷在淤泥中。

四月九日，城里饥荒非常严重，甚至那地的人民都断了粮食。

被拉到死地的人，你要拯救；将要被杀戮的人，你要挽救。如果你说：“这事我不知道。”那衡量人心的不明白吗？那看顾你性命的不晓得吗？他不按照各人的行为报应各人吗？

你要为不能自辩的人开口说话，为所有贫苦的人伸冤。你要开口说话，秉公审判，为困苦和穷乏的人伸冤。”

因为我惧怕群众，宗族的藐视又使我惊恐，以致我静默不言，足不出门。

因为我和我的族人被人出卖，快要毁灭，被杀尽、灭绝了。我们若是只被卖为奴婢，我也必闭口不言，但王的损失是敌人不能补偿的。”亚哈随鲁王问王后以斯帖，说：“存心这样行的人是谁？他在哪里？”以斯帖回答：“这敌人和仇人，就是这恶人哈曼！”哈曼在王和王后面前立刻惊惶万分。
