Jeremiah 39:15-18

New Revised Standard NRS

15 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah while he was confined in the court of the guard:

16 Go and say to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I am going to fulfill my words against this city for evil and not for good, and they shall be accomplished in your presence on that day.

17 But I will save you on that day, says the Lord, and you shall not be handed over to those whom you dread.

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 trusted in me, says 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.’ ”
