Jeremiah 39:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ A Blessing for Ebed-melech. While Jeremiah was confined in the court of the guard, the word of the Lord came to him. ¹⁶ “Go and tell Ebed-melech the Ethiopian: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am now going to fulfill the words I have spoken against this city for its ruin and not for its prosperity, and those promises will be fulfilled before your very eyes.

¹⁷ “However, I will rescue you on that day, says the Lord. You will not be handed over to those whom you so greatly fear.
