Jeremiah 39:15-18

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

15 The LORD's word came to Jeremiah when he was still confined to the prison quarters:

16 Go and say to Ebed-melech the Cushite that the LORD of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, proclaims: I'm about to fulfill my words concerning this city, for harm and not for good. You will witness it for yourself on that day.

17 But on that day, declares the LORD: I will rescue you; you won't be handed over to those you dread.

18 I will defend you; you won't die in battle. You will escape with your life, because you have trusted in me, declares the LORD.

New International Version NIV

15 While Jeremiah had been confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him:

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 rescue you on that day, declares the LORD; you will not be given into the hands of those you fear.

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.’ ”
