11Now Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had given charge to Nabuzardan the general concerning Jeremiah, saying:

11And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon giveth a charge concerning Jeremiah, by the hand of Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, saying,

12Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.

12Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.

12Take him, and set thy eyes upon him, and do him no harm: but as he hath a mind, so do with him.

12`Take him, and place thine eyes upon him, and do no evil thing to him, but as he speaketh unto thee, so do with him.'

15Now the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

15Now the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,

15But the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, when he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying: Go, and tell Abdemelech the Ethiopian, saying:

15And unto Jeremiah hath a word of Jehovah been--in his being detained in the court of the prison--saying:

16Go and speak to Ebed–melech 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.

16Go, and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Jehovah 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 before thee in that day.

16Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will bring my words upon this city unto evil, and not unto good: and they shall be accomplished in thy sight in that day.

16`Go, and thou hast spoken to Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in My words unto this city for evil, and not for good, and they have been before thee in that day.

17But 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.

17But I will deliver thee in that day, saith Jehovah; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.

17And I will deliver thee in that day, saith the Lord: and thou shalt not be given into the hands of the men whom thou fearest:

17And I have delivered thee in that day--an affirmation of Jehovah--and thou art not given into the hand of the men of whose face thou art afraid,

18For 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.

18For I will surely save 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 Jehovah.

18But delivering, I will deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword: but thy life shall be saved for thee, because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.

18for I do certainly deliver thee, and by sword thou fallest not, and thy life hath been to thee for a spoil, for thou hast trusted in Me--an affirmation of Jehovah.'
