Jeremiah 38:6
Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.

Study Note
Jeremiah's imprisonment in the cistern of Malchiah — a muddy pit in the court of the guard — represents the nadir of prophetic persecution in the book, concentrating the opposition of king, princes, and priests into a single act of would-be elimination. The detail that the cistern had 'no water, but mire' echoes the lament psalms' imagery of the 'miry pit' and 'horrible pit' (Psalm 40:2; 69:2) from which YHWH delivers the righteous, giving the narrative a typological dimension. Ethiopian Ebed-melech's subsequent rescue (vv. 7–13) — a foreigner interceding for the prophet where his own people sought his death — anticipates the New Testament pattern of Gentile responsiveness to prophetic witness. The episode influenced early Christian readings of Jeremiah as a type of Christ suffering at the hands of Israel's leaders.
