Jeremiah 39:11-18 - Jeremiah Freed By Nebuchadnezzar

¹¹ Nebuchadnezzar also the king of Babylon gave Nebuzaradan the chief captain a charge, concerning Jeremiah, saying, ¹² "Take and cherish him, and make much of him: see thou do him no harm, but entreat him after his own desire." ¹³ So Nebuzaradan the chief captain, Nabushazban the chief chamberlain, Nergalsharezer the treasurer and all the king of Babylon's lords, sent for Jeremiah, ¹⁴ and caused him be let out of the fore entry of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan: that he should carry him home, and so he dwelt among the people.

¹⁵ Now while Jeremiah lay yet bound in the fore entry of the prison, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, ¹⁶ Go and tell Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, 'Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts the God of Israel: Behold, the cruel and sharp plague that I have devised for this city, will I bring upon them, that thou shalt see it: ¹⁷ but I will deliver thee, sayeth the LORD, and thou shalt not come in the hands of those men, whom thou fearest. ¹⁸ For doubtless I will save thee, so that thou shalt not perish with the sword: but thy life shall be saved, and that because thou hast put thy trust in me, sayeth the LORD.'"
