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 like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.
My lord the king, these men have done something very bad to Jeremiah the prophet. They put him in a dark, scary place called a dungeon, and he might die from hunger because there's no food left in the whole city.
