The word:
This, and the four following chapters, record the events which occurred in Judea from the taking of Jerusalem to the retreat of the remnant of the people to Egypt; and contain several prophecies of Jeremiah concerning them there; which were "the word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord." It appears that Jeremiah, after being freed from prison, continued among the Jews, till he was bound, with others of them, and carried to Ramah; where he was set a liberty in the manner related.

after:
"Now Nebuchadrezzarª kingª of Babylonª gave chargeª ° concerning¹ Jeremiahª toª Nebuzaradanª the captainª of the guard,ª saying,ª ° ... Even they sent,ª ° and tookª °¹ Jeremiahª out of the courtª ¹ of the prison,ª and committedª ° him unto¹ Gedaliahª the sonª of Ahikamª the sonª of Shaphan,ª that he should carryª ° him home:ª so he dweltª ° amongª the people.ª" {Jer 39:11-14}

Ramah:
"Thus¹ saithª ° the LORD;ª A voiceª was heardª ° in Ramah,ª lamentation,ª [and] bitterª weeping;ª Rahelª weepingª ° for¹ her childrenª refusedª ° to be comfortedª ° for¹ her children,ª because¹ they [were] not.¹" {Jer 31:15} + "Gibeon,ª and Ramah,ª and Beeroth,ª" {Jsh 18:25} + "And his returnª [was] to Ramah;ª for¹ there¹ [was] his house;ª and there¹ he judgedª °¹ Israel;ª and there¹ he builtª ° an altarª unto the LORD.ª" {1Sm 7:17}

bound:
"Godª settethª ° the solitaryª in families:ª he bringeth outª ° those which are boundª with chains:ª but¹ the rebelliousª ° dwellª ° in a dryª [land]." {Psa 68:6} + "For¹ he hath brokenª ° the gatesª of brass,ª and cutª ° the barsª of ironª in sunder.² °" {Psa 107:16} + "Andª whenª Herodª wouldª ° have brought² ° him² forth,ª °¹ the¹ sameª nightª Peterª wasª ° sleepingª ° betweenª twoª soldiers,ª boundª ° with twoª chains:ª andª the keepersª beforeª the¹ doorª keptª ° the¹ prison.ª ... And,ª behold,ª ° the angelª of the Lordª came uponª ° [him], andª a lightª shinedª ° inª the¹ prison:ª andª he smoteª ° Peterª on the¹ side,ª and raised² ° him² up,ª °¹ saying,ª ° Arise upª ° quickly.ª ª Andª hisª chainsª fell offª ° fromª [his] hands.ª" {Act 12:6-7} + "Thenª Paulª answered,ª ° Whatª mean¹ ye² ° to weepª ° andª to breakª ° mineª heart?ª forª Iª amª ° readyª notª to be boundª ° only,ª but² ¹ also² ¹ to dieª ° atª Jerusalemª forª the¹ nameª of the¹ Lordª Jesus.ª" {Act 21:13} + "Forª thisª causeª thereforeª have I calledª ° for you,ª to seeª ° [you], andª to speak withª ° [you]: because¹ that² forª the¹ hopeª of Israelª I am bound¹ with² ° thisª chain.ª" {Act 28:20} + "Forª whichª I am an ambassadorª ° inª bonds:ª thatª thereinª ª I may speak boldly,ª ° asª Iª oughtª ° to speak.ª °" {Eph 6:20} *marg.
