Jeremiah 39:11-18 - Jeremiah Freed By Nebuchadnezzar

¹¹ But King Nebuchadnezzar commanded Nebuzaradan, the commanding officer, to give the following order: ¹² Go and find Jeremiah and take good care of him. Do not harm him, but do for him whatever he wants. ¹³ So Nebuzaradan, together with the high officials Nebushazban and Nergal Sharezer and all the other officers of the king of Babylon, ¹⁴ had me brought from the palace courtyard. They put me under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, who was to see that I got home safely. Thus I stayed there among the people.

¹⁵ While I was still imprisoned in the palace courtyard, Jehovah told me: ¹⁶ Tell Ebedmelech the Ethiopian that Jehovah, the God of Israel, said: 'Just as I said I would, I am going to bring upon this city destruction and not prosperity. When this happens, you will be there to see it. ¹⁷ I Jehovah will protect you, and you will not be handed over to the people you are afraid of. ¹⁸ I will keep you safe, and you will not be put to death. You will escape with your life because you have put your trust in me. I Jehovah have spoken!'
