Y dirán: Porque dejaron el Pacto del SEÑOR su Dios, y adoraron dioses ajenos, y les sirvieron.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- The only way of deliverance is to be surrendering to the Babylonians (Jer. 21:1-10) The wickedness of the king and his household. (Jer 21:11-14)
Jer. 21:1-10 When the siege had begun, Zedekiah sent to ask of Jeremia respecting the event. In times of distress and danger, men often see those to counsel and pray for them, whom, at other times, they despis and oppose; but they only seek deliverance from punishment. When professors continue in disobedience, presuming upon outward privileges let them be told that the Lord will prosper his open enemies agains them. As the king and his princes would not surrender, the people ar exhorted to do so. No sinner on earth is left without a Refuge, wh really desires one; but the way of life is humbling, it require self-denial, and exposes to difficulties.
Jer. 21:11-14 The wickedness of the king and his family was the wors because of their relation to David. They were urged to act with justice, at once, lest the Lord's anger should be unquenchable. If God be for us, who can be against us? But if he be against us, who can d any thing for us _________________________________________________
