Jeremiah 38:9
Douay-Rheims
My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done against Jeremias the prophet, casting him into the dungeon to die there with hunger, for there is no more bread in the city.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
P. "And he is like to die there of hunger.'' He speaks as if the prophet would speedily die of hunger, since no one thought of supplying him with bread, there being an extreme scarcity of it in the city. If rescued from this loathsome pit. he might attract attention and gain relief.
