THE MESSAGE
Earlier, while Jeremiah was still in custody in the courtyard of the royal guards, God 's Message came to him: "Go and speak with Ebed-melek the Ethiopian. Tell him, God -of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel, says, Listen carefully: I will do exactly what I said I would do to this city—bad news, not good news. When it happens, you will be there to see it. But I'll deliver you on that doomsday. You won't be handed over to those men whom you have good reason to fear. Yes, I'll most certainly save you. You won't be killed. You'll walk out of there safe and sound because you trusted me.'" God 's Decree.

Contextual Overview
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded concerning Jeremiah by the hand of Nebuzaradan the chief of the executioners, saying: 12 Take him and set your eyes on him. But do not do anything evil to him. But do with him even as he shall say to you. 13 And Nebuzaradan, the chief of the executioners, and Nebushasban the chief of the eunuchs, and Nergal-sharezer, chief soothsayer, and all the rulers of the king of Babylon, sent, 14 even they sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guardhouse. And they gave him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to cause him to go out to the house. And he lived among the people. 15 And the Word of Jehovah was to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guardhouse, saying, 16 Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, So says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing My Words on this city for evil, and not for good. And they shall be before you in that day. 17 But I will deliver you in that day, states Jehovah, and you shall not be given into the hand of the men, of those whom you fear. 18 For delivering I will deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword; but your life shall be a prize to you, because you have trusted in Me, states Jehovah.
