Geremia 39:16 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 39:16

Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopians
Not that the prophet was to go, or could go, out of prison, to deliver this message to Ebedmelech; but that he should, as he had opportunity, acquaint him with it; either by writing to him, or by word of mouth, when he should visit him; for no doubt he sometimes did, having so great a respect for the prophet: saying, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel;
whom Ebedmelech, though an Ethiopian, served; being a proselyte, and a good man; and therefore would listen unto and believe what came from him: behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for
good;
meaning the prophecies delivered out by Jeremiah, which Ebedmelech was no stranger to, these should be accomplished; not what promised good, on condition of repentance and amendment; but what threatened evil to the city, and the inhabitants of it, even the destruction of them: and they shall be [accomplished] in that day before thee;
signifying that he should live till then, and his enemies would not be able to take away his life; and that he should see with his eyes all that was predicted accomplished, and he himself safe amidst all this.

Geremia 39:16 In-Context

14 mandarono a far trarre Geremia fuori dal cortile della prigione, e lo consegnarono a Ghedalia, figliuolo di Ahikam, figliuolo di Shafan, perché fosse menato a casa; e così egli abitò fra il popolo.
15 Or la parola dell’Eterno fu rivolta a Geremia in questi termini, mentr’egli era rinchiuso nel cortile della prigione:
16 "Va’ e parla ad Ebed-melec, l’etiopo digli: Così parla l’Eterno degli eserciti, l’Iddio d’Israele: Ecco, io sto per adempiere su questa città, per il suo male e non per il suo bene, le parole che ho pronunziate, ed in quel giorno esse si avvereranno in tua presenza.
17 Ma in quel giorno io ti libererò, dice l’Eterno; e tu non sarai dato in mano degli uomini che temi;
18 poiché, certo, io ti farò scampare, e tu non cadrai per la spada; la tua vita sarà il tuo bottino, giacché hai posto la tua fiducia in me, dice l’Eterno".
