But 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.

The verse 17 is found in chapter 39 of Jeremiah. Jerusalem finally falls and Zedekiah is captured after witnessing the death of his sons. The temple and houses are burned and the people are taken into exile. In contrast, Ebed-melech receives a promise of protection because he trusted in Yahweh. The chapter thus distinguishes between the fate of a rebellious city and that of a person who acted faithfully.

Aber dich will ich erretten zur selben Zeit, spricht der HERR, und sollst den Leuten nicht zuteil werden, vor welchen du dich fürchtest.
Mas en aquel día yo te libraré, dice Jehová, y no serás entregado en mano de aquellos de quienes tú temes.
Pero aquel día yo te libraré —declara Jehová—, y no serás entregado en manos de los hombres a quienes temes.
Mais en ce jour je te délivrerai, dit l'Eternel, et tu ne seras pas livré entre les mains des hommes que tu crains.
Ma in quel giorno io ti libererò, dice il Signore; e tu non sarai dato in man degli uomini, de’ quali tu temi.
A ti, porém, eu livrarei naquele dia, diz o SENHOR, e não serás entregue na mão dos homens, a quem temes.
到那日我必拯救你,你必不致交在你所怕的人手中。這是耶和華說的。
