Jer 20:2, 26:20-24, 29:26-27, 37:15-16, 38:4-6 | ESV | STEP | Then Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet , and put him in the stocks that were in the upper Benjamin Gate of the house of the Lord .

20 There was another man who prophesied in the name of the Lord, Uriah the son of Shemaiah from ^dKiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land in words like those of Jeremiah. 21 And when ^eKing Jehoiakim, with all his warriors and all the officials, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah heard of it, he was afraid and fled and escaped to Egypt. 22 Then ^fKing Jehoiakim sent to Egypt certain men, ^gElnathan the son of ^hAchbor and others with him, 23 and they took Uriah from Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiakim, ⁱwho struck him down with the sword and dumped his dead body into the burial place of the common people.

24 But the hand of ^jAhikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah so that he was not given over to the people to be put to death.

Jeremiah 38:4-6

4 Then the officials said to the king, ^q“Let this man be put to death, ^rfor he is weakening the hands of the soldiers who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words to them. For this man is not seeking ^sthe welfare of this people, but their harm.” 5 King Zedekiah said, “Behold, he is in your hands, ^tfor the king can do nothing against you.” 6 So they took Jeremiah ^uand cast him into the cistern of Malchiah, the king’s son, which was in ^vthe court of the guard, letting Jeremiah down ^wby ropes. ^xAnd there was no water in the cistern, but only mud, and ^yJeremiah sank in the mud.
