16 aThen the officials and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, b“This man does not deserve the sentence of death, for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.” 17 cAnd certain of dthe elders of the land arose and spoke to all the assembled people, saying,Jeremiah 26:24

And they said to Baruch, o“We must report all these words to the king.” 17Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, please, how did you write all these words? Was it at his dictation?” 18Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me, pwhile I wrote them with ink on the scroll.” 19Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go and hide, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you are.”Jeremiah 36:25

4Then the officials said to the king, v“Let this man be put to death, wfor 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 xthe welfare of this people, but their harm.” 5King Zedekiah said, “Behold, he is in your hands, yfor the king can do nothing against you.” 6So they took Jeremiah zand cast him into the cistern of Malchiah, the king’s son, which was in aathe court of the guard, letting Jeremiah down abby ropes. acAnd there was no water in the cistern, but only mud, and adJeremiah sank in the mud.Ezekiel 22:6
