Jeremiah 39:15-18

15Now the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah when he was confined in the guard’s courtyard:

16“Go tell Ebed-melech the Cushite, ‘This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: I am about to fulfill my words for disaster and not for good against this city. They will take place before your eyes on that day.

17But I will rescue you on that day — this is the Lord’s declaration — and you will not be handed over to the men you dread.

18Indeed, I will certainly deliver you so that you do not fall by the sword. Because you have trusted in me, you will retain your life like the spoils of war. This is the Lord’s declaration.’”
