EasyEnglish Bible

The Lord's promise to Ebed-Melech

¹⁵ The Lord had spoken to Jeremiah while he was still a prisoner in the palace yard. ¹⁶ The Lord said, ‘Tell the Ethiopian man, Ebed-Melech, this: The Lord Almighty, Israel's God, says, “I will punish this city as I promised to do. I will send terrible trouble instead of help. You will see this when it happens. ¹⁷ But I will rescue you at that time. I promise you that. The people that you are afraid of will not take hold of you.
