Paul's Handkerchief is Bible study with a difference — going word-by-word through Scripture to reclaim the Ancient Near East context, romance, and mystery that modern translations often leave behind.

Only about 3% of people around the world who start the Bible ever finish it. The 3% Club is for those ready to break that cycle — reading the entire Bible at their own pace, backed by community and tools built to make finishing not just possible, but inevitable. You also get a certificate to celebrate your achievement.

Bible Cafe isn't just Bible study — it's a personal, intimate conversation with Him. Think less classroom, more kitchen table. It combines the original Coffee with Jesus experience with activities like quizzes, crosswords, journaling and more, all designed to let the Word shape your heart, not just your head.

Most English Bibles can't carry the full weight of what's in the original Hebrew and Greek. The F.O.G Bible Project exists to change that — three new translations built publicly (a Study Bible, a Reader's Bible, and F.O.G Jr. for younger readers), plus a word-by-word renewal of Strong's Concordance restoring the depths most translations leave behind. It is Jean Paul's lifelong work, unfolding in public — and you're invited in.

Jean Paul Joseph is the lead editor of the F.O.G Bible Project. He works from a personal encounter with Jesus first, then draws on the scholarship of respected Jewish and Christian scholars — because the church was Jewish before it was anything else, and those roots change everything about how you read Scripture.

Jeremiah 38:9 Overview & Translations

Late Pre-Exilic

Jeremiah 38:9

Translations

F.O.G.MPrimary

F.O.G Message

My lord the king, what these men have done to Jeremiah the prophet is evil. They have thrown him into the cistern, where he will starve to death—for there is no bread left anywhere in the city.'

F.O.GSecondary

The F.O.G

My lord the king, these men have done wickedly in all they have done to Yirmeyahu the navi—casting him into the bor, where he will die in his place from hunger, for there is no bread left in the city.'

KJV

King James Version

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.

BSB

Berean Standard Bible

“My lord the king, these men have acted wickedly in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet. They have dropped him into the cistern, where he will starve to death, for there is no more bread in the city.”

Footnotes

The phrase *vayamot tachatav* (וַיָּמָת תַּחְתָּיו), rendered 'he will die in his place,' is an idiom meaning 'he will die right where he stands.' Ebed-Melech's speech is a model of courageous advocacy: he addresses the king directly, names the moral category ('wickedly'), identifies the prophet by his office (*navi*), and grounds his appeal in the concrete reality of famine. A foreigner rebukes the king's inner circle on behalf of Israel's prophet.
