Jeremiah 26
1. Jeremiah by promises and threats exhorts to repentance.
8. He is therefore apprehended,

12. His apology.

20. and of Urijah,
24. and by the care of Ahikam.














(4, 5) To walk in my law, which I have set before you.--The words present more vividly than in the parallels of Jeremiah 7:25; Jeremiah 25:4 the relation of the Law as the groundwork of the teaching of the Prophets, their office being that of preachers and expounders, making men feel that the commandment was "exceeding broad." The "Law and the Prophets" are already coupled together, as in Matthew 5:17; Matthew 22:40, as making up God's revelation of His will to Israel.

Verses 4-6. - The contents of the discourse (see especially on Jeremiah 7:12-15). The priests and the prophets interfere, arrest Jeremiah, and accuse him of a capital crime. It would appear that some at least of the "false prophets" were priests; thus Pashur, we are told, was a priest (Jeremiah 20:6).
