Jeremiah 39:11-18
11Now NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 gaveH6680 ordersH6680 aboutH5921 1JeremiahH3414 throughH3027 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the bodyguardH2876, sayingH559, 12“TakeH3947 him and 2lookH5869H7760 afterH5921 him, and 3doH6213 nothingH408H3972 harmfulH7451 to him, but ratherH3588H518 dealH6213 with him justH3512 as he tellsH1696 you.” 13So NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the bodyguardH2876 sentH7971 word, along with NebushazbanH5021 the 4Rab-sarisH7249, and Nergal-sar-ezerH5371 the 5Rab-magH7248, and allH3605 the leadingH7227 officersH7227 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894; 14they even sentH7971 and 6tookH3947 JeremiahH3414 out of the courtH2691 of the guardhouseH4307 and entrustedH5414 him to 7GedaliahH1436, the sonH1121 of 8AhikamH296, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, to takeH3318 him homeH1004. So he stayedH3427 amongH8432 the peopleH5971.
15Now the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 had comeH1961 to JeremiahH3414 while he was 9confinedH6113 in the courtH2691 of the guardhouseH4307, sayingH559, 16“GoH1980 and speakH559 to 10Ebed-melechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, sayingH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “BeholdH2009, I am about to bringH935 My wordsH1697 on thisH2088 cityH5892 11for disasterH7463 and not for 12prosperityH2899; and they will 13takeH1961 placeH1961 beforeH6440 you on that dayH3117. 17But I will 14deliverH5337 you on that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “and you will not be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the menH376 whomH834 you dreadH3016. 18For I will certainlyH4422 rescueH4422 you, and you will not fallH5307 by the swordH2719; but you will haveH1961 your own 15lifeH5315 as bootyH7998, becauseH3588 you have 16trustedH982 in Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.’”
