13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon; 14 they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he lived among the people. 15 Now the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying, 16 |Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: |Look, I will bring my words on this city for disaster, and not for prosperity; and they shall be fulfilled before you in that day. 17 But I will deliver you in that day, says the LORD; and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid. 18 For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but your life will be given to you as a reward; because you have put your trust in me,|' says the LORD.| Jeremiah 39:13-18, New Heart English Bible.
