Shephatiah son of Mattan, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jehukal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malkijah heard what Jeremiah was telling all the people when he said,“ This is what the Lord says:‘ Whoever stays in this city will die by the sword, famine or plague, but whoever goes over to the Babylonians will live. They will escape with their lives; they will live.’And this is what the Lord says:‘ This city will certainly be given into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, who will capture it.’”Then the officials said to the king,“ This man should be put to death. He is discouraging the soldiers who are left in this city, as well as all the people, by the things he is saying to them. This man is not seeking the good of these people but their ruin.”“ He is in your hands,” King Zedekiah answered.“ The king can do nothing to oppose you.”So they took Jeremiah and put him into the cistern of Malkijah, the king’s son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the cistern; it had no water in it, only mud, and Jeremiah sank down into the mud. (niv)

Miqueias 2:6-11
“ Do not prophesy,” their prophets say.“ Do not prophesy about these things; disgrace will not overtake us.”You descendants of Jacob, should it be said,“ Does the Lord become impatient? Does he do such things?”“ Do not my words do good to the one whose ways are upright?Lately my people have risen up like an enemy. You strip off the rich robe from those who pass by without a care, like men returning from battle.You drive the women of my people from their pleasant homes. You take away my blessing from their children forever.Get up, go away! For this is not your resting place, because it is defiled, it is ruined, beyond all remedy.If a liar and deceiver comes and says,‘ I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’ that would be just the prophet for this people!
