Jeremiah 39:17

Context
39:17 But I will rescue you when it happens. 1  I, the Lord, affirm it! 2  You will not be handed over to those whom you fear. 3 

1 tn Heb “But I will rescue you on that day” (referring to the same day mentioned in the preceding verse).

2 tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

3 sn Some commentators see this as a reference to the princes from whose clutches Ebed-Melech delivered Jeremiah (38:7-13). However, it is clear that in this context it refers to those that he would fear when the Lord brings about the threatened disaster, i.e., the Babylonians who are attacking the city.
