Where are your prophets now who prophesied, "The king of Babylon will not attack you or this country"? (Jeremiah 37, 19)

But Ebed-Melech the Cushite, a eunuch attached to the palace, heard that Jeremiah had been put into the storage-well. As the king was sitting in the Benjamin Gate, (Jeremiah 38, 7)
'My lord king,' he said, 'these men have done a wicked thing by treating the prophet Jeremiah like this: they have thrown him into the storage-well. He will starve to death there, since there is no more food in the city.' (Jeremiah 38, 9)
