That's exactly what I thought. When I read the translation I thought they were telling the hostages to not get into trouble so that they would not be chained up to a tree by their neck or otherwise handicapped. If I was in that situation I would have interpreted the exact opposite of the messages.

As your interpretation, it is a sign that your time as a hostage might come to an end, because something might happen, as it happened to other 19 hostages.

And that `goodness` is what this message is all about.
