Jeremiah 38 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. The things that Jeremiah was preaching and prophecying seem to be subversive and politically undermining the king, even though they are true, and so he has enemies. In this chapter his enemies try to kill him by throwing him in an underground cistern (which you can still visit in Jerusalem) and leave him for dead. He is rescued by Ebedmelech as this video explains.
