16. "Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, 'The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: "Behold, I will bring my words on this city for evil, and not for good; and they will be accomplished before you in that day.

17. But I will deliver you in that day," says The LORD; "and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.

18. For I will surely save you, and you won't fall by the sword, but you will escape with your life; because you have put your trust in me," says The LORD.'"
