Jeremiah Chapter 38 Jeremiah Cast into the Cistern, Jeremiah Rescued from the Cistern, Jeremiah Warns Zedekiah Again
 
Chapter XXXVIII

Jeremiah prophesies; is by the princes, with the king's permission, cast into a dungeon; but is by Ebed - melech, with the king's consent, taken out again, ver. 1 - 13. He has a secret conference with the king, in which he counsels him by yielding, to save his life, ver. 14 - 23. By the king's command he conceals the conference from the princes, ver. 24 - 27. He abides in prison 'till Jerusalem is taken, ver. 28.

5 For the king - I see I am as it were no king. I can do nothing against you, you will do what you please.
10 Thirty men - Probably the king commanded Ebed - melech to take thirty men to guard him against any opposition.
19 Lest they - Lest the Chaldeans should deliver me into the hands of those Jews which have fallen to them.
22 The women - Thou that art afraid of the insultings of men, shalt fall under the insultings of the women. Thy friends - For this thou mayest thank thy priests, and false prophets. And they - Have forsaken thee, every one shifting for himself.
