When Jeremiah had not yet turned to go, Nebuzaradan said to him,“ Return to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and stay with him among the people or go wherever it seems right for you to go.” So the captain of the guards gave him a ration and a gift and released him.Jeremiah therefore went to Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah, and he stayed with him among the people who remained in the land.All the commanders of the armies that were in the countryside— they and their men— heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam over the land. He had been put in charge of the men, women, and children from among the poorest of the land, who had not been deported to Babylon.

Acts 23:20-35
“ The Jews,” he said,“ have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin tomorrow, as though they are going to hold a somewhat more careful inquiry about him.Don’t let them persuade you, because there are more than forty of them lying in ambush— men who have bound themselves under a curse not to eat or drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, waiting for your consent.”So the commander dismissed the young man and instructed him,“ Don’t tell anyone that you have informed me about this.”He summoned two of his centurions and said,“ Get two hundred soldiers ready with seventy cavalry and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea at nine tonight.Also provide mounts to ride so that Paul may be brought safely to Felix the governor.”He wrote the following letter:Claudius Lysias, To the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.When this man had been seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them, I arrived with my troops and rescued him because I learned that he is a Roman citizen.Wanting to know the charge they were accusing him of, I brought him down before their Sanhedrin.I found out that the accusations were concerning questions of their law, and that there was no charge that merited death or imprisonment.When I was informed that there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you right away. I also ordered his accusers to state their case against him in your presence.So the soldiers took Paul during the night and brought him to Antipatris as they were ordered.The next day, they returned to the barracks, allowing the cavalry to go on with him.When these men entered Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.After he read it, he asked what province he was from. When he learned he was from Cilicia,he said,“ I will give you a hearing whenever your accusers also get here.” He ordered that he be kept under guard in Herod’s palace.

Jeremiah 15:15-21
You know, LORD; remember me and take note of me. Avenge me against my persecutors. In your patience, don’t take me away. Know that I suffer disgrace for your honor.Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words became a delight to me and the joy of my heart, for I bear your name, LORD God of Armies.I never sat with the band of revelers, and I did not celebrate with them. Because your hand was on me, I sat alone, for you filled me with indignation.Why has my pain become unending, my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? You truly have become like a mirage to me— water that is not reliable.Therefore, this is what the LORD says: If you return, I will take you back; you will stand in my presence. And if you speak noble words, rather than worthless ones, you will be my spokesman. It is they who must return to you; you must not return to them.Then I will make you a fortified wall of bronze to this people. They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to save you and rescue you. This is the LORD’s declaration.I will rescue you from the power of evil people and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.
