Jeremiah Spared
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave orders regarding (A)Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard, saying, 12 “Take him and [a]look after him, and (B)do not do anything harmful to him, but rather deal with him just as he tells you.” 13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard sent word, along with Nebushazban the [b]Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the [c]Rab-mag, and all the leading officers of the king of Babylon; 14 they even sent word and (C)took Jeremiah out of the courtyard of the guardhouse and entrusted him to (D)Gedaliah, the son of (E)Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him home. So he stayed among the people.

Common English Bible
11 Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar gave orders concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the special guard: 12 “Find Jeremiah and look after him; don’t harm him but do whatever he asks from you.” 13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the special guard, Nebushazban the chief officer, Nergal-sharezer the field commander, and all the commanders of the king of Babylon 14 sent orders[a] to release Jeremiah from the prison quarters. They entrusted him to Gedaliah, Ahikam’s son and Shaphan’s grandson, so that Jeremiah could move about freely[b] among the people.
