Context — Jeremiah Delivered
15And while Jeremiah had been confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD had come to him:
16“Go and tell Ebed-melech the Cushite that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I am about to fulfill My words against this city for harm and not for good, and on that day they will be fulfilled before your eyes.
17But I will deliver you on that day, declares the LORD, and you will not be delivered into the hands of the men whom you fear.
18For I will surely rescue you so that you do not fall by the sword. Because you have trusted in Me, you will escape with your life like a spoil of war, declares the LORD.’”Cross References

Jeremiah 39:17 Summary
[This verse, Jeremiah 39:17, is a promise from God to Ebed-melech that He will protect him from harm and danger on a day when judgment comes, similar to the promises found in Psalm 27:1 and Isaiah 43:1-3. God is saying that even though Ebed-melech is afraid of certain people, He will not let them hurt him. This shows us that God is a God of love and protection, who cares about our well-being and safety, as seen in Deuteronomy 31:6 and Matthew 28:20. We can trust in God's power and promises, just like Ebed-melech did, and know that He will be with us in times of trouble, as encouraged in Psalm 23:4 and Romans 8:31.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the context of Jeremiah 39:17?
This verse is part of a message from God to Ebed-melech the Cushite, who had previously helped Jeremiah, as seen in Jeremiah 38:7-13, and is a declaration of God's deliverance and protection for Ebed-melech on a day of judgment, similar to what is described in Isaiah 13:6 and Jeremiah 25:29-30.
Who is Ebed-melech and why is he significant in this passage?
Ebed-melech is an Ethiopian eunuch who worked in the palace of King Zedekiah and had shown kindness to Jeremiah when he was thrown into a cistern, as told in Jeremiah 38:7-13, and his trust in God, as mentioned in Jeremiah 39:18, is an example of faith in action, similar to what is encouraged in Hebrews 11:6.
What does it mean to be 'delivered into the hands' of someone?
In this context, being delivered into someone's hands means to be given over to their control or power, often resulting in harm or punishment, as seen in Esther 7:9 and Psalm 31:8, but God promises to protect Ebed-melech from those he fears, demonstrating His power and care, as also seen in Psalm 34:4 and Isaiah 41:10.
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of God's protection and deliverance?
Jeremiah 39:17 is a specific example of God's promise to protect and deliver those who trust in Him, a theme that is repeated throughout the Bible, such as in Psalm 91:14-16 and Romans 8:28, where God's sovereignty and love are emphasized as the foundation of His deliverance and care for His people.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I am afraid of being 'delivered into the hands' of others, and how can I apply God's promise of protection and deliverance to those situations?
- In what ways can I demonstrate trust in God, like Ebed-melech, even when faced with uncertainty or danger, and what can I learn from his example of faith in action?
- How does the promise of God's deliverance in Jeremiah 39:17 encourage me to face challenges and difficulties in my own life, and what role does faith play in experiencing God's protection?
- What does this verse teach me about God's character, particularly His love, care, and power, and how can I grow in my understanding and appreciation of these attributes?
- In what ways can I, like Ebed-melech, be a source of encouragement and help to others who are facing difficulties, and how can I reflect God's heart of mercy and compassion in my interactions with them?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 39:17
Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying, Belonging to the time when the city was not yet taken, and when Jeremiah was still in the court of the prison (Jeremiah 38:13).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 39:17
But promiseth Ebed-melech he should be delivered in that evil day; and, whether he feared the Chaldeans, that he should lose his life by them when they should break up the city, or the princes, whom he had angered by complaining to the king of their hard usage of the prophet, he should come into none of their power.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 39:17
Jeremiah 39:17 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.Ver. 17. But I will deliver thee in that day.] From the sword, the famine, and the pestilence. "A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee; only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked"; and that the Lord is sure, though slow, tarditatem supplicii gravitate compensans. And thou shalt not be delivered into the hands of those men.] Zedekiah’ s courtiers, who do bear thee an aching tooth for thy kindness to my prophet, and have vowed revenge. Val. Max.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 39:17
17. the men of whom thou art afraid] meaning perhaps the princes, who were hostile to Jeremiah and so would punish Ebed-melech for helping him out of the dungeon, or, as Jeremiah 39:18 suggests, the victorious army, in which case cp. Jeremiah 22:25.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 39:17
Of whom thou art afraid - The Chaldaeans. Ebed-melech apparently looked forward with much alarm to the b oodshed sure to take place at the storming of the city.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 39:17
17. The men of whom thou art afraid — The Chaldeans. But some think the courtiers and princes, against whom Ebed-melech had set himself in delivering Jeremiah.
