Jeremiah 39:15-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁵ Now the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah while he was ^(A)confined in the court of the guardhouse, saying, ¹⁶ “Go and speak to ^(B)Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Behold, I am about to bring My words on this city ^(C)for disaster and not for ^[a]prosperity; and they will ^(D)take place before you on that day. ¹⁷ But I will ^(E)deliver you on that day,” declares the Lord, “and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you dread. ¹⁸ For I will certainly rescue you, and you will not fall by the sword; but you will have your own ^(F)life as booty, because you have ^(G)trusted in Me,” declares the Lord.’”
