Jeremiah 39:11-18

11Now NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 gave chargeH6680 concerning JeremiahH3414 toH3027 Nebuzar–adanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, sayingH559,12 12TakeH3947 him, and look wellH7760H5869 to him, and doH6213 him no harmH7451H3972; but doH6213 unto him even as he shall sayH1696 unto thee.3 13So Nebuzar–adanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 sentH7971, and NebushasbanH5021, Rab–sarisH7249, and Nergal–sharezerH5371, Rab–magH7248, and all the kingH4428 of Babylon’sH894 princesH7227;4 14Even they sentH7971, and tookH3947 JeremiahH3414 out of the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, and committedH5414 him unto GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, that he should carryH3318 him homeH1004: so he dweltH3427 amongH8432 the peopleH5971.

15Now the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 came unto JeremiahH3414, while he was shut upH6113 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, sayingH559, 16GoH1980 and speakH559 to Ebed–melechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will bringH935 my wordsH1697 upon this cityH5892 for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896; and they shall be accomplished in that dayH3117 beforeH6440 thee. 17But I will deliverH5337 thee in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LordH3068: and thou shalt not be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the menH582 of whomH6440 thou art afraidH3016. 18For I will surelyH4422 deliverH4422 thee, and thou shalt not fallH5307 by the swordH2719, but thy lifeH5315 shall be for a preyH7998 unto thee: because thou hast put thy trustH982 in me, saithH5002 the LordH3068.
