as

speaketh
unto
thee,
so
do with

harm
come
to him ;
do for

he
says
. ”

been --
in
his
being
detained
in the court
of the prison
--
saying
:
And while
Jeremiah had
been confined
in the courtyard
of the guard,
the
word
of
the
LORD
had
come
to
him
:
`
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.
“
Go and tell
Ebed-melech the Cushite that
this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel, says:
‘
I am about
to
fulfill
My words against
this city for harm
and not for good, and on
that day they
will
be
fulfilled
before
your
eyes
.
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,
But
I will
deliver
you
on
that day ,
declares
the
LORD,
and you
will
not be
delivered
into the hands
of the men whom
you
fear.
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
. '
For I will
surely
rescue
you
so
that
you
do not
fall
by the
sword .
Because
you
have
trusted
in
Me
, you
will
escape
with
your
life like
a spoil of war,
declares
the
LORD
. ’”
