Jeremías 42:4 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 42:4

Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard [you],
&c.] He took notice of what they said to him, and found himself disposed to comply with their request, and readily granted it: behold, I will pray unto the Lord your God, according to your words;
be an intercessor for them; use his interest with his God, and their God; and, on account of relation, might expect to be heard; whom he would humbly entreat to direct what they should do, as they desired: and it shall come to pass, [that] whatsoever thing the Lord shall
answer you, I will declare [it] unto you; I will keep nothing back from
you;
but faithfully make known the whole mind and will of God, just as it is delivered, be it in what way soever: and though it is not expressed, he might suggest that he had some doubt on his mind whether they would obey it or not; and that he expected they would be open and free in declaring themselves on that point; since he had so readily complied with their request, and was determined to act the faithful part to them; hence the following reply:

Jeremías 42:4 In-Context

2 y dijeron al profeta Jeremías: Llegue ahora ante ti nuestra súplica, y ruega al SEÑOR tu Dios por nosotros, por todo este remanente, porque quedamos pocos de muchos que éramos, como pueden ver tus ojos,

3 para que el SEÑOR tu Dios nos indique el camino por donde debemos ir y lo que debemos hacer.

4 Entonces el profeta Jeremías les dijo: Os he oído. He aquí, voy a orar al SEÑOR vuestro Dios conforme a vuestras palabras, y todas las palabras que el SEÑOR os responda, yo os las declararé. No os ocultaré palabra alguna.

5 Y ellos dijeron a Jeremías: Que el SEÑOR sea un testigo veraz y fiel contra nosotros si no obramos conforme a toda palabra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te mande para nosotros.

6 Sea buena o mala, escucharemos la voz del SEÑOR nuestro Dios a quien te enviamos, para que nos vaya bien cuando escuchemos la voz del SEÑOR nuestro Dios.
