Listen up, you worthless maggots! In Jeremiah 38, King Zedekiah of Judah is captured by the Babylonians and taken to exile, and the people of Judah suffer under the Babylonian rule. Meanwhile, Jeremiah is thrown into a muddy cistern by officials of King Zedekiah. The officials wanted to kill Jeremiah, but the king refused. A man named Ebed-Melech rescues Jeremiah from the cistern and pleads with the king to spare his life. The king agrees, and Jeremiah is released. This chapter serves as an example of how God will always save those who serve Him, no matter how dire the situation. Now, get movin'!
