Jeremiah 39:16 in Context — Jeremiah 39
14 Enviaram, pois, e tomaram a Jeremias do pátio da guarda, e o entregaram a Gedalias filho de Aicã, filho de Safã, para que o levasse para casa; e ele ficou entre o povo.
15 E tinha vindo a palavra do SENHOR a Jeremias, enquanto ele estava preso no pátio da guarda, dizendo:
16 Vai, e fala a Ebede-Meleque o cuxita, dizendo: Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que trarei minhas palavras sobre esta cidade para o mal, e não para o bem; e serão naquele dia perante tua presença.
17 Porém naquele dia eu te livrarei, diz o SENHOR, e não serás entregue nas mãos dos homens a quem tu temes.
18 Pois certamente te livrarei, e não cairás à espada, mas sim que terás tua alma como despojo, porque confiaste em mim, diz o SENHOR.
