## Jeremiah 38:11 in Context (Verses 8–14 KJV)
 
 [8 ](/kjv/jeremiah/38/8) Ebed-melech went forth out of the king’s house, and spake to the king, saying,
 
 [9 ](/kjv/jeremiah/38/9) 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; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for *there is* no more bread in the city.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/jeremiah/38/10) Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/jeremiah/38/11) So Ebed-melech 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.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/jeremiah/38/12) And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now *these* old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/jeremiah/38/13) So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/jeremiah/38/14) ¶ Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that *is* in the house of the LORD: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.*
