Jeremiah 38:5

Jeremiah Cast into the Cistern

4Then the officials said to the king, “This man ought to die, for he is discouraging the warriors who remain in this city, as well as all the people, by speaking such words to them; this man is not seeking the well-being of these people, but their ruin.”5“Here he is,” replied King Zedekiah. “He is in your hands, since the king can do nothing to stop you.”
