Jeremiah - 38:23 Meaning
“So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.”
King James Version (KJV)
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.
“And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
