14 yea, they send and take Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and give him unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, to carry him home, and he dwelleth in the midst of the people.
15 And unto Jeremiah hath a word of Jehovah been--in his being detained in the court of the prison--saying:
16 `Go, and thou hast spoken to Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in My words unto this city for evil, and not for good, and they have been before thee in that day.
17 And I have delivered thee in that day--an affirmation of Jehovah--and thou art not given into the hand of the men of whose face thou art afraid,
18 for I do certainly deliver thee, and by sword thou fallest not, and thy life hath been to thee for a spoil, for thou hast trusted in Me--an affirmation of Jehovah.'
