Jeremiah 39:15-18
Christian Standard Bible
15 Now the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah when he was confined in the guard’s courtyard:(A) 16 “Go tell Ebed-melech the Cushite,(B) ‘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. 17 But 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. 18 Indeed, 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.(C) This is the Lord’s declaration.’”

Ebed-melech is Rewarded for His Faith
15 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah at his confinement in the courtyard of the guard, saying,[a] 16 “Go and say to Ebed-melech the Cushite, saying,[b] ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “Look, I am about to bring my words to pass against this city for evil and not for good. And they will be before you[c] on that day. 17 But I will rescue you on that day,” declares[d] Yahweh, “and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are frightened.[e] 18 For surely I will save you, and you will not fall by the sword. But your life will be for you as booty because you have trusted in me,” declares[f] Yahweh.’”
