Go and say to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, my words will come true for this town, for evil and not for good: they will come about before your eyes on that day.

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.
