For they have dug a pit to capture me and hidden snares for my feet. Yet You, O Jehovah, know all their deadly designs against me. Do not forgive their iniquity or blot out their sin from your sight. But may they be overthrown before you. Deal with them in the time of your anger!

Jehovah says: 'Whoever stays on in the city will die in war or of starvation or disease. But those who go out and surrender to the Babylonians will not be killed.

I cannot stop you. So they took me and let me down by ropes into Prince Malchiah's well, which was in the palace courtyard. There was no water in the well, only mud, and I sank down in it.
