Jeremías 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 ) .

Jeremías 38:18 In-Context

16 Pero el rey Sedequías juró en secreto a Jeremías, diciendo: Vive el SEÑOR, que nos dio esta vida, que ciertamente no te mataré ni te entregaré en manos de esos hombres que buscan tu vida.
17 Y Jeremías dijo a Sedequías: Así dice el SEÑOR, Dios de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel: "Si en verdad te pasas a los oficiales del rey de Babilonia, entonces vivirás, y esta ciudad no será incendiada, y vivirás, tú y tu casa.
18 Pero si no te pasas a los oficiales del rey de Babilonia, esta ciudad será entregada en manos de los caldeos; ellos la incendiarán y tú no escaparás de su mano."
19 Entonces dijo el rey Sedequías a Jeremías: Tengo temor de los judíos que se han pasado a los caldeos, no sea que me entreguen en sus manos y me maltraten.
20 Pero Jeremías dijo: No te entregarán. Te ruego que escuches la voz del SEÑOR en lo que te digo, y te irá bien y vivirás.
