Jeremiah 39:16

Jer 39:16 Go and speak to Ebedmelech 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.

Ver. 16. Go and speak unto Ebedmelech the Ethiopian. ] Who yet was an Israelite indeed by his faith and religion, as was likewise Jether the Ishmaelite. 1 Chronicles 7:17 2Sa 17:25

Thus saith the Lord of hosts. ] Who will not fail to give, unto him who showeth kindness to any prophet of his, a prophet’s reward. Mat 10:41-42

Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil. ] See Jeremiah 20:16 ; Jeremiah 44:27 .

And they shall be accomplished in that day before thee. ] Thou shalt see it, but shalt survive it. And this prophecy may be unto us instead of a most certain history.
