The Promise to the Ethiopian Ebed-Melech
While Jeremiah is imprisoned in the guard court, the Lord's word comes to him with a message for the Ethiopian Ebed-Melech: The city will be struck by disaster, but Ebed-Melech himself will be saved and receive his life as spoils of war because he has put his trust in the Lord.
Jeremías 39,15-18
15While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him:
וְאֶֽל־יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ הָיָ֣ה דְבַר־יְהוָ֑ה בִּֽהְיֹת֣וֹ עָצ֔וּר בַּחֲצַ֥ר הַמַּטָּרָ֖ה לֵאמֹֽר׃
16"Go and say to Ebed-melech the Cushite: This is what the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am about to bring my words against this city—for disaster and not for good—and on that day they will come to pass before your eyes.
הָל֣וֹךְ וְאָמַרְתָּ֡ לְעֶבֶד־מֶ֨לֶךְ הַכּוּשִׁ֜י לֵאמֹ֗ר כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר יְהוָ֤ה צְבָאוֹת֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הִנְנִי֩ *מבי **מֵבִ֨יא אֶת־דְּבָרַ֜י אֶל־הָעִ֥יר הַזֹּ֛את לְרָעָ֖ה וְלֹ֣א לְטוֹבָ֑ה וְהָי֥וּ לְפָנֶ֖יךָ בַּיּ֥וֹם הַהֽוּא׃
17But I will rescue you on that day, declares the LORD, and you will not be handed over to the men you dread.
וְהִצַּלְתִּ֥יךָ בַיּוֹם־הַה֖וּא נְאֻם־יְהוָ֑ה וְלֹ֤א תִנָּתֵן֙ בְּיַ֣ד הָֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים אֲשֶׁר־אַתָּ֥ה יָג֖וֹר מִפְּנֵיהֶֽם׃
18I will surely deliver you; you will not fall by the sword. You will escape with your life, because you have trusted in me, declares the LORD."
כִּ֤י מַלֵּט֙ אֲמַלֶּטְךָ֔ וּבַחֶ֖רֶב לֹ֣א תִפֹּ֑ל וְהָיְתָ֨ה לְךָ֤ נַפְשְׁךָ֙ לְשָׁלָ֔ל כִּֽי־בָטַ֥חְתָּ בִּ֖י נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃ ס
