sent and took Jeremiah from the court of the guard .
They entrusted him to Gedali '
ah the son of Ahi '
kam ,
son of Shaphan ,
that he should take him home .
So he dwelt among the people .
*
The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guard :
* "
Go ,
and say to E '
bed-mel '
ech the Ethiopian , `
Thus says the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel :
Behold ,
I will fulfil my words against this city for evil and not for good ,
and they shall be accomplished before you on that day .
*
But I will deliver you on that day ,
says the LORD ,
and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid .
*
For I will surely save you ,
and you shall not fall by the sword ;
but you shall have your life as a prize of war ,
because you have put your trust in me ,
says the LORD .'"
