24:039:010 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard
left of the poor of
the
people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and
gave
them
vineyards and fields at the same time.
24:039:011 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave
charge concerning
Jeremiah
to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
24:039:012 Take him, and look well to him, and do
him no harm; but do
unto
him even as he shall say unto thee.
24:039:013 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard
sent, and Nebushasban,
Rabsaris,
and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of
Babylon’s
princes;
24:039:014 Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of
the court of the
prison,
and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the
son
of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so
he dwelt
among
the people.
24:039:015 Now the word of the lord came unto
Jeremiah, while he was shut
up
in the court of the prison, saying,
24:039:016 Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian,
saying, Thus saith
the
lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will
bring my
words
upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they
shall
be accomplished in that day before thee.
24:039:017 But I will deliver thee in that day, saith
the lord: and thou
shalt
not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou
art
afraid.
24:039:018 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou
shalt not fall by the
sword,
but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because
thou
hast put thy trust in me, saith the lord.
24:040:001 The word that came to Jeremiah from the
lord, after that
Nebuzaradan
the captain of the guard had let him go from
Ramah,
when he had taken him being bound in chains among all
that
were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which
were
carried away captive unto Babylon.
24:040:002 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah,
and said unto him,
The
lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this
place.
24:040:003 Now the lord hath brought it, and
done according as he hath
said:
because ye have sinned against the lord, and have
not
obeyed
his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.
24:040:004 And now, behold, I loose thee this day
from the chains which
were
upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to
come with
me
into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee:
but if
it
seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear:
behold,
all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth
good
and
convenient for thee to go, thither go.
