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.’”
