Bible. Jeremiah
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.
