15 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah (A)while he was shut up in the court of the guard: 16 “Go, and say to (B)Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: (C)Behold, I will fulfill my words against this city for harm and (D)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 (E)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 (F)life as a prize of war, (G)because you have put your trust in me, declares the Lord.’”

Jeremiah 39:15-18
Common English Bible
15 The Lord’s word came to Jeremiah when he was still confined to the prison quarters: 16 Go and say to Ebed-melech the Cushite that the Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, proclaims: I’m about to fulfill my words concerning this city, for harm and not for good. You will witness it for yourself on that day. 17 But on that day, declares the Lord:
I will rescue you;
you won’t be handed over to those you dread.
18 I will defend you;
you won’t die in battle.
You will escape with your life,
because you have trusted in me,
declares the Lord.
