Jeremias 38:18 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 38:18

But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's
princes
And surrender to them: then shall this city be given into the hands of the Chaldeans;
if not willingly delivered up by the king of Judah, it shall be forcibly taken by the king of Babylon's army, through the permission of God; with respect to whom it is said to be given unto them, even by him who has the disposing of cities and kingdoms: and they shall burn it with fire;
as it had been often foretold it should, and as it accordingly was, ( Jeremiah 39:8 ) ; and thou shalt not escape out of their hand;
though he might hope he should, and would attempt to do it, yet should be taken; and though he should not be slain, yet should never regain his liberty, or get out of their hands, when once in them; see ( Jeremiah 52:7-9 Jeremiah 52:11 ) .

Jeremias 38:18 In-Context

16 Então jurou o rei Zedequias a Jeremias, em segredo, dizendo: Vive o Senhor, que nos fez esta alma, que não te matarei nem te entregarei na mão destes homens que procuram a tua morte.
17 Então Jeremias disse a Zedequias: Assim diz o Senhor, Deus dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Se te renderes aos príncipes do rei de Babilônia, será poupada a tua vida, e esta cidade não se queimará a fogo, e viverás tu e a tua casa.
18 Mas, se não saíres aos príncipes do rei de Babilônia, então será entregue esta cidade na mão dos caldeus, e eles a queimarão a fogo, e tu não escaparás da sua mão.
19 E disse o rei Zedequias a Jeremias: Receio-me dos judeus que se passaram para os caldeus, que seja entregue na mão deles, e escarneçam de mim.
20 Jeremias, porém, disse: Não te entregarão. Ouve, peço-te, a voz do Senhor, conforme a qual eu te falo; e bem te irá, e poupar-se-á a tua vida.
