They tried to end my life by throwing me into a deep pit. They threw stones down at me.

他们使我的命在牢狱中断绝，并将一块石头抛在我身上。

他们要在坑中了结我的性命，丢石头在我身上。

他们要在坑中了结我的性命，丢石头在我身上。

他们把我推进坑里，又用石头砸我。

他们把我投在坑中要结束我的性命，又把石头抛在我身上；

他們使我的命在牢獄中斷絕，並將一塊石頭拋在我身上。

他們要在坑中了結我的性命，丟石頭在我身上。

他們要在坑中了結我的性命，丟石頭在我身上。

他們把我推進坑裡，又用石頭砸我。

他們把我投在坑中要結束我的性命，又把石頭拋在我身上；

他們要了結我的性命於坑裏，又將石頭拋在我身上。

絕我命於阱、擲石於我身兮、

下我於井、置石於上、幾絶我生命兮。

下我於坑、欲絕我命、擲石擊我、

They tried to end my life in a pit and threw stones at me;

they flung me alive into the pit and cast stones on me;

They threw me into a pit and dropped stones on me.

They smothered my life in a pit and threw stones on me.

They have silenced me in the pit And have thrown stones on me.

They silenced my life in the pit And threw stones at me.

They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone upon me.

They dropped me alive into a pit and threw stones at me.

They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.

They shut me up in a pit and threw stones at me.

They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone on me.

A stone was brought and placed over the opening of the den. The king sealed it with his own special ring. He also sealed it with the rings of his nobles. Then nothing could be done to help Daniel.

“ My king and master, everything these men have done to Jeremiah the prophet is evil. They have thrown him into an empty well. Soon there won’t be any more bread in the city. Then he’ll starve to death.”

So they took Jeremiah and put him into an empty well. It belonged to Malkijah. He was a member of the royal court. His well was in the courtyard of the guard. Zedekiah’s men lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the well. It didn’t have any water in it. All it had was mud. And Jeremiah sank down into the mud.

Jeremiah was put into a prison cell below ground level. He remained there a long time.

He placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb. Then he went away.

So they went and made the tomb secure. They put a royal seal on the stone and placed some guards on duty.

But now please listen, my king and master. Let me make my appeal to you. Please don’t send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary. If you do, I’ll die there.”
