15The word of Yahweh had come to Jeremiah while he was confined in the court of the guard, saying,

16Go and say to Ebed-melech the Cushite, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing my words against this city for harm and not for good, and they will come to pass before you on that day.’

17But I will deliver you on that day, declares Yahweh, and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.

18For I will surely rescue you, and you will not fall by the sword. Your life will be yours as plunder, because you have trusted in me, declares Yahweh.
