Jeremiah 37:16
When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon,.... Or, "into the house of the pit" {l}; a dungeon, like a pit or ditch, dark, dirty, or dismal:
and into the cabins; or "cells" {m}; into a place more inward than the cells, as the Targum; into the innermost and worst part in all the prison, where a man could not well lie, sit, nor stand:
and Jeremiah had remained there many days; in this very uncomfortable condition; very probably till the Chaldean army returned to Jerusalem, as he foretold it should.
