Jeremiah 39:16-18 Go and say to ‘Ebed-melech the Cushi as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring my words to fulfillment against this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished before thee on that day.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Go and say to ‘Ebed-melech the Cushi as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring my words to fulfillment against this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished before thee on that day. ¹⁷ But I will deliver thee on that day, saith the Lord; and thou shalt not be given up into the hand of the men of whom thou hast dread. ¹⁸ For I will surely let thee escape, and thou shalt not fall by the sword; but thy life shall be unto thee as a booty; because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.
