15
The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guard:
16
"Go, and say to E'bed-mel'ech the Ethiopian, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will fulfil my words against this city for evil and not for good, and they shall be accomplished before you on that day.
17
But I will deliver you on 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 you shall have your life as a prize of war, because you have put your trust in me, says the LORD.'"
