Jeremiah 38:1. Jeremiah is next accused of high treason. The char...

Zedekiah asks Jeremiah about the future, swearing immunity to him,
whatever his answer (Jeremiah 38:16). Jeremiah urges him to save
himself and the city by surrender to Nebuchadrezzar's princes
(Nebuc...

_Let no man know_ Zedekiah's feebleness is again conspicuous in this
and the two following verses. Although the saving of the prophet from
conditions likely to prove fatal is not directly mentioned in...

TRANSLATION
(14) Zedekiah the king sent and had Jeremiah the prophet brought unto
him at the third entrance of the house of the LORD. And the king said

Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and
thou shalt not die.

Under these circumstances he continued to foretell the victory of the
Chaldeans, with the result that the anger of the princes was stirred
up against him, and he was cast into a most loathsome dungeon...
-
This must have been a very interesting interview between the king and
the Prophet; and it is impossible but to take concern in it, and to
wish that Zedekiah had listened to the Prophet's advice. And a...

Here is seen the miserable condition of the king. Had he no faith in
the answer of Jeremiah, he would not have thus feared. But he
acknowledged that what he had heard from the mouth of the Prophet was...

THE FOLLOWING COMMENTARY COVERS CHAPTER S 37 AND 38.
Chapter 37 gives us Zedekiah in the same state of disobedience. A show
of religion is kept up, and, having a moment of respite which excites
some h...

THEN SAID ZEDEKIAH TO JEREMIAH,.... Not a word signifying his
approbation of the counsel given him, or that he intended to take it;
his silence showed the reverse:

_Then said Zedekiah, Let no man know of these words_, &c. Keep what
has passed between us secret, and I will keep my promise to thee of
preserving thy life. These words sufficiently show that Zedekiah...

Jeremiah's Advice to the King...
-
14-28 Jeremiah was not forward to repeat the warnings, which seemed
only to endanger his own life, and to add to the king's guilt, but
asked whether he feared to do the will of God. The less men fear...
-
These words sufficiently let us know that Zedekiah stood in awe of his
courtiers, and we might probably think, that had it not been for them,
he would have done better. This is the righteous judgment...

Ropes and rags.
I. Help always comes from above. Jeremiah found it so. It was useless
to try to climb out of the dungeon, it was only to fall deeper into

CONTENTS: Jeremiah's imprisonment, continued. His private conference

CONCLUSION:...

Jeremiah 38:7. _Ebed-melech the Ethiopian,_ the king's chamberlain. It
seems to have been a new name given him on his promotion to office;
but God gave him long life for preserving the life of Jeremia...

JEREMIAH—NOTE ON JEREMIAH 38:24 LET NO ONE KNOW. Jeremiah’s future
