Geremia 39:12

12 Prendilo, ed abbi cura di lui, e non fargli alcun male; anzi fa’ inverso lui come egli ti dirà.

Geremia 39:12 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 39:12

Take him, and look well to him
Take him out of prison; take him under your immediate care; receive him kindly, and use him humanely; provide everything necessary for him, and let him not want for anything: or, "set thine eyes upon him" ^F13 look pleasantly at him, and let him be always under your view and inspection; treat him not with neglect and contempt, but see to it that nothing is wanting to him: and do him no harm;
no injury to his person by beating, imprisoning, or starving him; nor suffer any to be done to him by the common soldiers, or by his own people: but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee:
let him have whatever he asks for: this was great favour from a Heathen prince indeed, and more than he met with from his own countrymen.

10 Ma Nebuzaradan, capitano delle guardie, lasciò nel paese di Giuda i più poveri d’infra il popolo, i quali non avevano nulla; e diede loro in quel giorno vigne e campi.

11 Or Nebucadnesar, re di Babilonia, aveva data commessione a Nebuzaradan, capitano delle guardie, intorno a Geremia, dicendo:

12 Prendilo, ed abbi cura di lui, e non fargli alcun male; anzi fa’ inverso lui come egli ti dirà.

13 Nebuzaradan adunque, capitano delle guardie, e Nebusazban, Rab-saris, Nergal-sareser, Rab-mag, e tutti gli altri capitani del re di Babilonia,

14 mandarono a far trarre Geremia fuor delle corte della prigione, e lo diedero a Ghedalia, figliuolo di Ahicam, figliuolo di Safan, per condurlo fuori in casa sua. Ma egli dimorò per mezzo il popolo.
