15 Now the word of the LORD had come to Jeremiah while he was confined in the court of the guardhouse, saying,
15
While Jeremiah had been confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him:
16 "Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Behold, I am about to bring My words on this city for disaster and not for prosperity; and they will take place before you on that day.
16
“Go and tell Ebed-Melek the Cushite, ‘This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to fulfill my words against this city—words concerning disaster, not prosperity. At that time they will be fulfilled before your eyes.
17 "But I will deliver you on that day," declares the LORD , "and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you dread.
17
But I will rescue you on that day, declares the LORD; you will not be given into the hands of those you fear.
18 "For I will certainly rescue you, and you will not fall by the sword; but you will have your own life as booty, because you have trusted in Me," declares the LORD .' "
18
I will save you; you will not fall by the sword but will escape with your life, because you trust in me, declares the LORD.’ ”
