That thou mayest open the eyes of the blind; let out the prisoners, and them that sit in darkness, out of the dungeon house.

When Jeremiah was come into the dungeon-house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;

Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;

So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.

If they do this, tell them, 'I was pleading with the king not to send me back to die in the dungeon of Jonathan's house.'"
