Kështu Ebed-meleku mori me vete burrat, hyri në shtëpinë e mbretit duke kaluar poshtë vendit të thesarit, mori andej rroba dhe lecka të konsumuara dhe ia zbriti me litarë Jeremias në sternë.
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.
