Jeremiah 39:14
Jeremiah was to be taken out of the court of the watch, and placed in the palace close by.
He dwelt among the people - i. e., he was no longer in custody, but master of his own actions.
12 “Take him and look after him, and do him no aharm; but do to him just as he says to you.”
13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent Nebushasban, Rabsaris, Nergal-Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon’s chief officers;
14 then they sent someone ato take Jeremiah from the court of the prison, and committed him bto Gedaliah the son of cAhikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should take him home. So he dwelt among the people.
15 Meanwhile the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
16 “Go and speak to aEbed-Melech the Ethiopian, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, bI will bring My words upon this city for adversity and not for good, and they shall be performed in that day before you.
17 But I will deliver you in that day,” says the Lord, “and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
18 For I will surely deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword; but ayour life shall be as a prize to you, bbecause you have put your trust in Me,” says the Lord.’ ”
