18I will save you; you will not fall by the sword but will escape with your life, because you trust in me, declares the Lord .' "


In Context

15 While Jeremiah had been confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the Lord came to him:

16 "Go and tell Ebed-Melech the Cushite, 'This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to fulfill my words against this city through disaster, not prosperity. At that time they will be fulfilled before your eyes.

17 But I will rescue you on that day, declares the Lord ; you will not be handed over to those you fear.

18 I will save you; you will not fall by the sword but will escape with your life, because you trust in me, declares the Lord .' "
