Jeremias 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.

Jeremias 37:18 In-Context

16 Jeremias foi posto numa cela subterrânea da prisão, onde ficou por muito tempo.
17 Então o rei mandou buscá-lo, e Jeremias foi trazido ao palácio. E, secretamente, o rei lhe perguntou: “Há alguma palavra da parte do SENHOR?”“Há”, respondeu Jeremias, “você será entregue nas mãos do rei da Babilônia”.
18 Então Jeremias disse ao rei Zedequias: “Que crime cometi contra você ou contra os seus conselheiros ou contra este povo para que você me mandasse para a prisão?
19 Onde estão os seus profetas que profetizaram para você: ‘O rei da Babilônia não atacará nem a vocês nem a esta terra’?
20 Mas, agora, ó rei, meu senhor, escute-me, por favor. Permita-me apresentar-lhe a minha súplica: Não me mande de volta à casa de Jônatas, o secretário, para que eu não morra ali”.
