Jeremiah 39:15

 While Jeremiah had been confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the Lord came to him: ¹⁶ “Go and tell Ebed-Melek the Cushite, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to fulfill my words against this city—words concerning disaster, not prosperity. At that time they will be fulfilled before your eyes. ¹⁷ But I will rescue you on that day, declares the Lord; you will not be given into the hands of those you fear. ¹⁸ I will save you; you will not fall by the sword but will escape with your life, because you trust in me, declares the Lord.’”

Remember Ebed-Melek from a previous post?  In a very difficult time in the history of Israel; when it was easier said than done to trust in the Lord; despite his fear, Ebed-Melek trusted in the Lord and that saved his life. There is no more record of Ebed-Melek in the Bible but he is remembered for speaking against injustice, and so helping the prophet Jeremiah and trusting the Lord.
