The Lord Delivers Jeremiah
11 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave command concerning Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, saying, 12 (A)“Take him, look after him well, and do him no harm, but deal with him as he tells you.” 13 So (B)Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, Nebushazban the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, (C)and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon 14 sent and took Jeremiah from (D)the court of the guard. They entrusted him to (E)Gedaliah the son of (F)Ahikam, son of (G)Shaphan, that he should take him home. So (H)he lived among the people.
15 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah (I)while he was shut up in the court of the guard: 16 “Go, and say to (J)Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: (K)Behold, I will fulfill my words against this city for harm and (L)not for good, and they shall be accomplished before you on that day. 17 But I will deliver you on that day, declares the Lord, and you shall not be given into the hand of the men (M)of whom you are afraid. 18 For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but you shall have your (N)life as a prize of war, (O)because you have put your trust in me, declares the Lord.’”

New International Version
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given these orders about Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard: 12 “Take him and look after him; don’t harm(A) him but do for him whatever he asks.” 13 So Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard, Nebushazban a chief officer, Nergal-Sharezer a high official and all the other officers(B) of the king of Babylon 14 sent and had Jeremiah taken out of the courtyard of the guard.(C) They turned him over to Gedaliah(D) son of Ahikam,(E) the son of Shaphan,(F) to take him back to his home. So he remained among his own people.(G)
15 While Jeremiah had been confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the Lord came to him: 16 “Go and tell Ebed-Melek(H) the Cushite, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to fulfill my words(I) against this city—words concerning disaster,(J) not prosperity. At that time they will be fulfilled before your eyes. 17 But I will rescue(K) you on that day, declares the Lord; you will not be given into the hands of those you fear. 18 I will save(L) you; you will not fall by the sword(M) but will escape with your life,(N) because you trust(O) in me, declares the Lord.’”

Jeremiah 39:11-18
King James Version
11 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
12 Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's princes;
14 Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.
15 Now the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
16 Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.
17 But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the Lord: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.
18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.
