Jeremiah 39:16 in Context — Jeremiah 39
14 envoyèrent chercher Jérémie dans la cour de la prison, et ils le remirent à Guedalia, fils d’Achikam, fils de Schaphan, pour qu’il fût conduit dans sa maison. Et il resta au milieu du peuple.
15 La parole de l’Éternel fut adressée à Jérémie en ces mots, pendant qu’il était enfermé dans la cour de la prison:
16 Va, parle à Ébed-Mélec, l’Éthiopien, et dis-lui: Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées, le Dieu d’Israël: Voici, je vais faire venir sur cette ville les choses que j’ai annoncées pour le mal et non pour le bien; elles arriveront en ce jour devant toi.
17 Mais en ce jour je te délivrerai, dit l’Éternel, et tu ne seras pas livré entre les mains des hommes que tu crains.
18 Je te sauverai, et tu ne tomberas pas sous l’épée; ta vie sera ton butin, parce que tu as eu confiance en moi, dit l’Éternel.
