John Trapp on Jeremiah 37:16

Ver. 16. When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon] Heb. into a place or houſe of the pit or hole; where the Prophet could neither walk, nor handſomly lye down,In domum eiſternae. when worſe men a great deal had what liberty they lifted.

And into the cabins] Or cells where they ſcarce put any but traitours, and like foul offenders. Such they had at Athens called Barathrum, at Rome Tullianum, or Profundum maris, &c. into which whoſoever was put, could hardly be put to more miſery.

And Jeremiah had remained there many dayes] Till the return of the Chaldees likely. Canes lingunt ulcera Lazari.
