For I have never hurt any who were willing to serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of all the earth.
Now therefore, if your people who dwell in the mountains had not treated me heedlessly, I would not have lifted up my spear against them, but they have done these things to themselves.
But now tell me how you have fled from them and come to us; for you have reached safety,
so be of good comfort; you will live this night and hereafter.
For none will hurt you, but they will treat you well, as they do the servants of king Nebuchadnezzar my lord."
