King James Translators' Notes

they...: Heb. they were silent from him

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

38:14-28 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 God, the more they fear men; often they dare not act according to their own judgments and consciences.


Jeremiah 38:26 then you are to say to them, 'I was presenting my petition before the king, not to make me return to the house of Jonathan to die there.'"
Jeremiah 38:28 So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guardhouse until the day that Jerusalem was captured. (NASB ©1995)
