Jeremías 40:1-6

Listen to Jeremías 40:1-6
1 El Señor
le dio a Jeremías un mensaje después que Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, lo dejó libre en Ramá. Este había encontrado a Jeremías atado con cadenas entre todos los demás cautivos de Jerusalén y de Judá que estaban siendo desterrados a Babilonia.
2 El capitán de la guardia mandó llamar a Jeremías y le dijo: «El Señor
tu Dios trajo desastre a esta tierra
3 tal como dijo que haría, pues este pueblo ha pecado contra el Señor
y lo desobedeció. Por eso ocurrió.
4 Ahora voy a quitarte estas cadenas y a dejarte libre. Si quieres venir conmigo a Babilonia, eres bienvenido. Me ocuparé de que seas tratado bien, pero si no quieres venir, puedes quedarte aquí. Toda la tierra está ante ti, puedes irte a donde quieras.
5 Si decides quedarte, regresa a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam y nieto de Safán. Él fue nombrado gobernador de Judá por el rey de Babilonia. Quédate allí con la gente que él gobierna, pero eso depende de ti. Puedes irte a donde quieras».
Entonces Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, le dio a Jeremías algo de comida y dinero y lo dejó ir.
6 Entonces, Jeremías regresó a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam, en Mizpa, y vivió en Judá con los pocos que se quedaron en la tierra.

The release of Jeremiah, where, and by whom, Jer 40:1-4; the liberty granted him to go to Babylon, or stay in Judea, as he thought fit; and, if he chose the latter, is advised to go to Gedaliah, appointed governor, or where he would; and is dismissed with food, and a reward, Jer 40:4-6; upon which he went and dwelt with Gedaliah, Jer 40:7; to whom also the captains of the dispersed forces joined themselves, to whom he swore, and bid them be of good cheer; and exhorted them to serve the Chaldeans, which he urged from the profit of it to them, and by his own example, Jer 40:8-10; and to whom also gathered the Jews in other countries, Jer 40:11,12; by the captains he is informed of a conspiracy against his life, and one of them offers to destroy the conspirator, which Gedaliah would not agree to, disbelieving the information, Jer 40:13-16.
