Jeremiah 39:13-17
English Standard Version
Chapter 39
13So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, Nebushazban the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon 14sent and took Jeremiah from the court of the guard. They entrusted him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, that he should take him home. So he lived among the people.
15The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guard:
16"Go, and say to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will fulfill my words against this city for harm and not for good, and they shall be accomplished before you on that day.
17But I will deliver you on that day, declares the Lord, and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
