Context
Ebed Melech Is Promised Deliverance because of His Faith
39:15 Now the Lord had spoken to Jeremiah while he was still confined in the courtyard of the guardhouse ,
39:16 “Go and tell Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian , ‘The Lord God of Israel who rules over all says , “I will carry out against this city what I promised . It will mean disaster and not good fortune for it. When that disaster happens , you will be there to see it.
39:17 But I will rescue you when it happens . I, the Lord , affirm it! You will not be handed over to those whom you fear .
39:18 I will certainly save you. You will not fall victim to violence . You will escape with your life because you trust in me. I, the Lord , affirm it!”’”
