Your life shall be spared as booty, because you trusted in me, says the LORD. 因为我必拯救你，你不会丧身在刀下，你必获得性命如获得战利品，因为你信赖了我──上主的断语。＂ Footnotes(注解) 1 [1] The tenth month of the ninth year: the month Tebet (mid-December to mid-January) of the year 589/8 B.C. 2 [2] The ninth day of the fourth month, in the eleventh year: in July of 587 B.C. 3 [4] The Royal Garden Road: along the southeast side of the city; the royal garden was in the Kidron Valley.
