So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.

The verse 11 is found in chapter 38 of Jeremiah. The princes accuse Jeremiah of weakening the army’s morale and throw him into a cistern. Ebed-melech intervenes and manages to rescue him. The episode demonstrates the cost of proclaiming an unpopular word and, at the same time, shows that God can raise unexpected help to preserve his prophet.

Und Ebed-Melech nahm die Männer mit sich und ging in des Königs Haus unter die Schatzkammer und nahm daselbst zerrissene und vertragene alte Lumpen und ließ sie an einem Seil hinab zu Jeremia in die Grube.
Y tomó Ebed-melec en su poder hombres, y entró a la casa del rey al lugar debajo de la tesorería, y tomó de allí trapos viejos, traídos, viejos, y andrajosos, y echolos a Jeremías con sogas en la mazmorra.
Ebed-melec tomó a los hombres bajo su mando y entró en el palacio, al lugar que estaba debajo de la tesorería. Tomó de allí trapos viejos y ropas gastadas y los bajó con cuerdas a Jeremías, a la cisterna.
Ebed-Mélec prit avec lui les hommes, et se rendit à la maison du roi, dans un lieu au-dessous du trésor; il en sortit des lambeaux usés et de vieux haillons, et les descendit à Jérémie dans la citerne, avec des cordes.
Ed Ebed-melec prese quegli uomini seco, ed entrò nella casa del re, di sotto alla tesoreria, e ne tolse de’ vecchi stracci, e de’ vecchi panni logori, e li calò a Geremia con delle funi nella fossa.
E tomou Ebede-Meleque os homens consigo, e foi à casa do rei, por debaixo da tesouraria, e tomou dali uns trapos velhos e rotos, e roupas velhas, e desceu-os a Jeremias na cisterna por meio de cordas.
於是 以伯‧米勒 帶領這些人同去,進入王宮,到庫房以下 ,從那裏取了些碎布和破衣服,用繩子縋下去,到井裏 耶利米 那裏。
