KJV ORIGINAL
Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
So they grabbed Jeremiah and threw him into Malchiah's dungeon in the prison courtyard. They lowered him down with ropes into this pit that had no water — just thick, nasty mud. Jeremiah sank right into the muck.
