19
Ja vaikka me taivaan haltiattarelle suitsuttaisimme ja juomauhria uhraisimme, niin emme sitä tee ilman meidän miestemme tahtoa, kuin me hänelle leipiä leivomme ja juomauhria uhraamme.

The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #104
104. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 38
1-3 Those who have not yet been vastated, will be vastated. (2, 3)
4-6 They made themselves still more obstinate, by perverting doctrine from the Word, and defiling it. (2)
7-13 The remnants that were not utterly falsified, were nevertheless tainted with falsities. (2, 17)
14-18 If they pervert them still farther, they will perish. (2)
19-21 Otherwise, if those remnants are not so perverted, they will not perish. (2)
22-23 It is foreseen that all things of the church will be perverted. (2)
Jeremiah 38:7-13
7
Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin),
8
Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying,
9
My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is likely to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.
10
Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from here thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dies.
11
So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
12
Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put now these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords. Jeremiah did so.
13
So they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
