Jeremiah 39:16-18

The Voice

Eternal One: ¹⁶ Go and give this message to Ebed-melech, the Ethiopian. “This is what the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies and God of Israel, promises you: ‘Look! Very soon I will bring disaster not prosperity on Jerusalem and her citizens as I warned through Jeremiah. And you, Ebed-melech, will see all this happen with your own eyes. ¹⁷ But do not worry, for I will rescue you on that day so that you will not be taken prisoner by those you fear. ¹⁸ I will protect you, and you will not die in the war. Your life will be your reward because you trusted in Me. I, the Eternal One, declare this to you.’”
