Jeremiah 39:16-18

NSB(i) 16 »Tell Ebedmelech the Ethiopian that Jehovah, the God of Israel, said: ‘Just as I said I would, I am going to bring upon this city destruction and not prosperity. When this happens, you will be there to see it. 17 »‘I Jehovah will protect you, and you will not be handed over to the people you are afraid of. 18 »‘I will keep you safe, and you will not be put to death. You will escape with your life because you have put your trust in me. I Jehovah have spoken!’«
