Jeremiah 39:15-18
English Standard Version
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.’”

15 The Lord had given the following message to Jeremiah while he was still in prison: 16 “Say to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian,[a] ‘This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: I will do to this city everything I have threatened. I will send disaster, not prosperity. You will see its destruction, 17 but I will rescue you from those you fear so much. 18 Because you trusted me, I will give you your life as a reward. I will rescue you and keep you safe. I, the Lord, have spoken!’”
