Jeremiah 46
1 And it came to pass in the ninth
month of Sedekias king of Juda, that Nabuchodonosor
king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and they besieged
it. 2 And in the eleventh year of
Sedekias, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the city was
broken up.
3 And all the leaders of the king of
Babylon went in, and sat in the middle gate, Marganasar, and Samagoth, and
Nabusachar, and Nabusaris, Nagargas, Naserrabamath, and the rest of the
leaders of the king of Babylon,
14 and they sent, and took Jeremiah
out of the court of the prison, and gave him
in charge to Godolias the son of Achicam, the son of
Saphan: and they brought him out, and he sat in the midst of the people.
15 And the word of the Lord came to
Jeremiah in the court of the prison, saying,
16 Go and say to Abdemelech the
Ethiopian, Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I
will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not
for good. 17 But I will save thee in
that day, and I will by no means deliver thee into the hands of the men before
whom thou art afraid. 18 For I will
surely save thee, and thou shalt by no means fall by the sword; and thou shalt
find thy life, because thou didst trust in me, saith the Lord.
