13 So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, Nebushazban, the high official, Nergal-sar-ezer, the chief official, and all the officials of the king of Babylon sent for Jeremiah. 14 They sent for Jeremiah and took him from the courtyard of the guard. They handed him over to Ahikam's son Gedaliah, the grandson of Shaphan, to take him home. So he remained among the people. 15 This message from the LORD came to Jeremiah while he was confined in the courtyard of the guard: 16 |Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian: 'This is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, says: |Look, I'm going to fulfill my promise against this city for disaster rather than for good, and on that day it will happen before your eyes. 17 But I'll deliver you on that day,| declares the LORD. |You won't be given into the hands of the men you fear. 18 For I'll surely deliver you, and you won't fall by the sword. Your life will be spared because you trusted me,| declares the LORD.'| Jeremiah 39:13-18, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
