Jeremiah Spared
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave orders regarding (A)Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard, saying, 12 “Take him and [a]look after him, and (B)do not do anything harmful to him, but rather deal with him just as he tells you.” 13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard sent word, along with Nebushazban the [b]Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the [c]Rab-mag, and all the leading officers of the king of Babylon; 14 they even sent word and (C)took Jeremiah out of the courtyard of the guardhouse and entrusted him to (D)Gedaliah, the son of (E)Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him home. So he stayed among the people.

Jeremiah Remains in Judah
11 King Nebuchadnezzar had told Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, to find Jeremiah. 12 “See that he isn’t hurt,” he said. “Look after him well, and give him anything he wants.” 13 So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard; Nebushazban, a chief officer; Nergal-sharezer, the king’s adviser; and the other officers of Babylon’s king 14 sent messengers to bring Jeremiah out of the prison. They put him under the care of Gedaliah son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, who took him back to his home. So Jeremiah stayed in Judah among his own people.
