- The word:
- This discourse was delivered about the ninth year of the reign of Zedekiah. This chapter, observes Dr. Blayney, contains the first of those prophecies which were delivered by Jeremiah subsequent to the revolt of Zedekiah, and the breaking out of the war thereupon; and which are continued on to the taking of Jerusalem, related in "In the ninthª yearª of Zedekiahª kingª of Judah,ª in the tenthª month,ª cameª° Nebuchadrezzarª kingª of Babylonª and all¹ his armyª against¹ Jerusalem,ª and they besiegedª° it." {Jer 39:1}, in the following order. "The wordª which¹ came¹ unto¹ Jeremiahª from¹¹ the LORD,ª when kingª Zedekiahª sentª° unto¹ him¹ Pashurª the sonª of Melchiah,ª and Zephaniahª the sonª of Maaseiahª the priest,ª saying,ª° ... But I will punishª°¹ you according to the fruitª of your doings,ª saithª° the LORD:ª and I will kindleª° a fireª in the forestª thereof, and it shall devourª° all things¹ round aboutª it." {Jer 21:1-14} + "The wordª which¹ came¹ unto¹ Jeremiahª from¹¹ the LORD,ª when Nebuchadnezzarª kingª of Babylon,ª and all¹ his army,ª and all¹ the kingdomsª of the earthª of his dominion,ªª¹ and all¹ the people,ª foughtª° against¹ Jerusalem,ª and against¹ all¹ the citiesª thereof, saying,ª° ... Behold,¹ I will command,ª° saithª° the LORD,ª and cause them to returnª° to¹ this¹ city;ª and they shall fightª° against¹ it, and takeª° it, and burnª° it with fire:ª and I will makeª° the citiesª of Judahª a desolationª without¹¹ an inhabitant.ª°" {Jer 34:1-22} + "The wordª that¹ came¹ to¹ Jeremiahª from¹¹ the LORDª in the tenthª yearª of Zedekiahª kingª of Judah,ª which¹ [was] the eighteenthªª² yearª of Nebuchadrezzar.ª ... Men shall buyª° fieldsª for money,ª and subscribeª° evidences,ª and sealª° [them], and takeª° witnessesª in the landª of Benjamin,ª and in the places aboutª Jerusalem,ª and in the citiesª of Judah,ª and in the citiesª of the mountains,ª and in the citiesª of the valley,ª and in the citiesª of the south:ª for¹ I will cause¹ their captivityª to return,ª° saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 32:1-44} + "Moreover the wordª of the LORDª came¹ unto¹ Jeremiahª the secondª time, while he¹ was yet¹ shut upª° in the courtª of the prison,ª saying,ª° ... Thenª will I cast awayª° the seedª of Jacob,ª and Davidª my servant,ª [so] that I will not takeª°¹ [any] of his seedª¹ [to be] rulersª° over¹ the seedª of Abraham,ª Isaac,ª and Jacob:ª for¹ I will cause¹ their captivityª to return,ª°°° and have mercyª° on them." {Jer 33:1-26} + "Then Shephatiahª the sonª of Mattan,ª and Gedaliahª the sonª of Pashur,ª and Jucalª the sonª of Shelemiah,ª and Pashurª the sonª of Malchiah,ª heardª°¹ the wordsª that¹ Jeremiahª had spokenª° unto¹ all¹ the people,ª saying,ª° ... So Jeremiahª abodeª° in the courtª of the prisonª until¹ the dayª that¹ Jerusalemª was taken:ª° and he was¹ [there] when¹ Jerusalemª was taken.ª°" {Jer 38:1-28} + "In the ninthª yearª of Zedekiahª kingª of Judah,ª in the tenthª month,ª cameª° Nebuchadrezzarª kingª of Babylonª and all¹ his armyª against¹ Jerusalem,ª and they besiegedª° it. ... For¹ I will surely²° deliverª° thee, and thou shalt not¹ fallª° by the sword,ª but thy lifeª shall be¹ for a preyª unto thee: because¹ thou hast put thy trustª° in me, saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 39:1-18}.
