Jeremiah 39:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ “Go and tell Ebed Melek the Cushite that this is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says. Watch, I am going to fulfill my words against this city for evil and not for good. They are going to be fulfilled before your eyes. ¹⁷ But I will deliver you on that day, declares the Lord, and you will not be handed over to those you fear. ¹⁸ I will certainly save you. You will not fall by the sword. You will escape with your life, because you have put your trust in me, declares the Lord.”
