10 So the king commanded Ebed-melech (servant of the king) the Cushite, “Take thirty men from here with you and pull Jeremiah (whom YHWH has appointed) the prophet out of the cistern before he dies.” 11 Then Ebed-melech (servant of the king) took the men with him and went to the king’s palace, to a place below the storehouse. From there he took old rags and worn-out clothes and lowered them with ropes to Jeremiah (whom YHWH has appointed) in the cistern. 12 Ebed-melech (servant of the king) the Cushite cried out to Jeremiah (whom YHWH has appointed), “Put these worn-out rags and clothes under your arms to pad the ropes.” Jeremiah did so, 13 and they pulled him (whom YHWH has appointed) up with the ropes and lifted him out of the cistern. And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard. Jeremiah 38:10-13, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
