¹⁴ had me brought from the palace courtyard. They put me under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, who was to see that I got home safely. And so I stayed there among the people.

¹⁵ While I was still imprisoned in the palace courtyard, the Lord told me ¹⁶ to tell Ebedmelech the Ethiopian^[a] that the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, had said, “Just as I said I would, I am going to bring upon this city destruction and not prosperity. And when this happens, you will be there to see it.
