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 like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.
9 Ee bwana wangu, mfalme, watu hawa wametenda mabaya katika mambo yote waliyomtenda Yeremia, nabii, ambaye wamemtupa shimoni; naye hakosi atakufa pale alipo, kwa sababu ya njaa; kwa kuwa hapana mkate kabisa katika mji.
