ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૩૮:૯
મારા માલિક, મારા રાજા, આ લોકોએ પ્રબોધક યર્મિયા સાથે જે કર્યુ છે તે ઘણું અનિષ્ટ થયું છે; એ લોકોએ તેને પાણીના ટાંકામાં નાખ્યો છે અને નગરમાં ખોરાક તો છે નહિ એટલે તે કદાચ ભૂખે મરી જશે.”
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ३८:९
“हे मेरे स्वामी, हे राजा, उन लोगों ने यिर्मयाह भविष्यद्वक्ता से जो कुछ किया है वह बुरा किया है, क्योंकि उन्होंने उसको गड्ढे में डाल दिया है; वहाँ वह भूख से मर जाएगा क्योंकि नगर में कुछ रोटी नहीं रही है।”

In context

7Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king was then sitting in Benjamin’s gate),

8Ebedmelech went out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying,

9“My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon. He is likely to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.”

10Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, “Take from here thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dies.”

11So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took from there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
