Jeremiah 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 

But I will rescue you on that day, declares the LORD; you will not be handed over to those you fear.

"But I will deliver you on that day," declares the LORD, "and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you dread.

but I will rescue you from those you fear so much.

But I'll deliver you on that doomsday. You won't be handed over to those men whom you have good reason to fear.

But I will keep you safe on that day, says the Lord: you will not be given into the hands of the men you are fearing.

But I will save you on that day, says the LORD, and you shall not be handed over to those whom you dread.

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

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.
