Jeremías 37:18 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 37:18

Moreover, Jeremiah said unto King Zedekiah
Having this opportunity with him alone, and perhaps observing the king was melted and softened with what he had said; however, finding liberty in his own mind, he enlarges his discourse, and freely expostulates with him in the following manner: what have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against
this people, that ye have put me in prison?
or, "what have I sinned?" have I been guilty of treason against thee, O king? or of scandal and defamation of any of thy nobles and courtiers? have I done any injury to any of the king's subjects? has there been any falsehood in my prophecies? has not everything appeared to be true that I have spoken, concerning the coming of the Chaldeans to invade the land, and besiege the city? and concerning the return of the Chaldean army when broken up? why then should I be cast into prison, and detained there? is it not a clear case that what I have said comes from the Lord? and therefore ought not to be used in this manner.

Jeremías 37:18 In-Context

16 Entró, pues, Jeremías en el calabozo, es decir, en la celda abovedada; allí permaneció Jeremías muchos días.
17 Y el rey Sedequías envió a sacarlo, y en su palacio el rey le preguntó secretamente, y le dijo: ¿Hay palabra del SEÑOR? Y Jeremías respondió: La hay. Y añadió: En manos del rey de Babilonia serás entregado.
18 Dijo también Jeremías al rey Sedequías: ¿En qué he pecado contra ti, o contra tus siervos, o contra este pueblo para que me hayas puesto en prisión?
19 ¿Dónde, pues, están vuestros profetas que os profetizaban, diciendo: "El rey de Babilonia no vendrá contra vosotros, ni contra esta tierra"?
20 Mas ahora, te ruego que escuches, oh rey mi señor; venga ahora mi súplica delante de ti, y no me hagas volver a la casa del escriba Jonatán, no sea que muera yo allí.
