Now Nebuchadnezzarh5019 kingh4428 of Babylonh894 gaveh6680 ordersh6680 abouth5921  aJeremiahh3414 throughh3027 Nebuzaradanh5018 the captainh7227b of the bodyguardh2876, sayingh559,

17

"But I will  adeliverh5337 you on that dayh3117," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "and you will not be givenh5414 into the handh3027 of the menh376 whomh834 you dreadh3016.

18

"For I will certainlyh4422 rescueh4422 you, and you will not fallh5307 by the swordh2719; but you will haveh1961 your own  alifeh5315 as bootyh7998, becauseh3588 you have  btrustedh982 in Me," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.' "
