Jeremiah 39

Thomson(i) 1 Now it came to pass that in the ninth year and ninth month of Sedekias king of Juda, Nabuchodonosar king of Babylon with all his army came against Jerusalem and besieged it. 2 And in the eleventh year of Sedekias in the fourth month on the ninth day of the month, a breach was made into the city; 3 and all the generals of the king of Babylon entered and sat in the middle gate, namely, Marganasar, and Samagoth and Nabusachar and Nabusaris, Nagargas, Naserrabamath, and the rest of the generals of the king of Babylon; 4 [Omitted] 5 [Omitted] 6 [Omitted] 7 [Omitted] 8 [Omitted] 9 [Omitted] 10 [Omitted] 11 [Omitted] 12 [Omitted] 13 [Omitted] 14 and they sent and took Jeremias out of the court of the prison and committed him to Godolias son of Achikam son of Saphan. And when they brought him out he sat down among the people. 15 Now there had come to Jeremias in the court of the prison a word of the Lord, saying, 16 Go and say to Abdemelech the Ethiopian, Thus said the Lord the God of Israel, Behold I will bring my words on this city for evils and not for good. 17 But I will save thee on that day and not deliver thee into the hands of those men of whom thou art afraid. 18 For I will save thee and thou shalt not fall by the sword. And thou shalt have thy life for a spoil, because thou hast trusted in me, said the Lord.
