15 Now the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah while he was (A)confined in the courtyard of the guardhouse, saying, 16 “Go and speak to (B)Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, ‘This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I am going 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)save you on that day,” declares the Lord, “and you will not be handed over to the men of whom you are afraid. 18 For I will assuredly rescue you, and you will not fall by the sword; but you will have your own (F)life as plunder, because you have (G)trusted in Me,” declares the Lord.’”

15 Now the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah when he was confined in the guard’s courtyard:(A) 16 “Go tell Ebed-melech the Cushite:(B) This is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am about to fulfill My words for harm and not for good against this city. They will take place before your eyes on that day. 17 But I will rescue you on that day”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“and you will not be handed over to the men you fear. 18 Indeed, I will certainly deliver you so that you do not fall by the sword. Because you have trusted in Me, you will keep your life like the spoils of war.”(C) This is the Lord’s declaration.
