Jeremiah 39:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ sent orders^[a] to release Jeremiah from the prison quarters. They entrusted him to Gedaliah, Ahikam’s son and Shaphan’s grandson, so that Jeremiah could move about freely^[b] among the people.

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.
