Jeremiah 39:11-18

11Now Nebuchadrezzar kingH4428 of BabylonH894 gave charge concerning JeremiahH3414 to NebuzaradanH5018 the captain of the guard, sayingH559, 12TakeH3947 him, and look well to him, and do him no harmH7451; but do unto him even as he shall sayH1696 unto thee. 13So NebuzaradanH5018 the captain of the guard sentH7971, and Nebushazban, Rab-sarisH7249, and Nergal-sharezer, Rab-magH7248, and all the chief officers of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894; 14they sentH7971, and tookH3947 JeremiahH3414 out of the courtH2691 of the guardH4307, and committed him unto GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, that he should carry him home. So he dweltH3427 among the peopleH5971.

15Now the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto JeremiahH3414, while he wasH1961 shutH6113 up in the courtH2691 of the guardH4307, sayingH559, 16GoH1980, and speak to Ebed-melechH5663 the Ethiopian, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Behold, I will bringH935 my wordsH1697 upon this cityH5892 for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896; and they shall beH1961 accomplished before thee in that dayH3117. 17But I will deliverH5337 thee in that dayH3117, saith Jehovah; and thou shalt not be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the menH376 of whom thou art afraid. 18For I will surely saveH4422 thee, and thou shalt not fallH5307 by the swordH2719, but thy lifeH5315 shall beH1961 for a prey unto thee; because thou hast put thy trustH982 in me, saith Jehovah.
