| Jeremiah 38:6 | Then they took Jeremias, and cast him into the dungeon of Melchias, the son of Amelech, which was in the entry of the prison: and they let down Jeremias by ropes into the dungeon, wherein there was no water, but mire. And Jeremias sunk into the mire. | Mire, up to the neck; so that he would soon have been smothered. (Josephus, Antiquities 10:10.) |
