Tulerunt ergo Jeremiam, et projecerunt eum in lacum Melchiæ filii Amelech, qui erat in vestibulo carceris: et submiserunt Jeremiam funibus in lacum, in quo non erat aqua, sed lutum: descendit itaque Jeremias in cœnum.
Then they took Jeremiah and cast him into the dungeon of Melchias the son of Amelech, which was in the entry of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah by ropes into the dungeon, wherein there was no water, but mire. And Jeremiah sunk into the mire.
Tole ergo Ieremia, et proicie illo in lacu de Melchiase de filio Amelech, qui es in vestibulo de carcere: et submitte Ieremia funes in lacu, in quo non es aqua, sed luto: Ieremia itaque descende in coeno.
