Jeremias 39:12

12 “Vá buscá-lo e cuide bem dele; não o maltrate, mas faça o que ele pedir”.

Jeremias 39:12 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 39:12

Take him, and look well to him
Take him out of prison; take him under your immediate care; receive him kindly, and use him humanely; provide everything necessary for him, and let him not want for anything: or, "set thine eyes upon him" ^F13 look pleasantly at him, and let him be always under your view and inspection; treat him not with neglect and contempt, but see to it that nothing is wanting to him: and do him no harm;
no injury to his person by beating, imprisoning, or starving him; nor suffer any to be done to him by the common soldiers, or by his own people: but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee:
let him have whatever he asks for: this was great favour from a Heathen prince indeed, and more than he met with from his own countrymen.

Jeremias 39:12 In-Context

10 Somente alguns dos mais pobres do povo, que nada tinham, Nebuzaradã deixou para trás em Judá. E, naquela ocasião, ele lhes deu vinhas e campos.

11 Mas Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, deu ordens a respeito de Jeremias a Nebuzaradã:

12 “Vá buscá-lo e cuide bem dele; não o maltrate, mas faça o que ele pedir”.

13 Então Nebuzaradã, o comandante da guarda imperial, Nebusazbã, um dos chefes dos oficiais, Nergal-Sarezer, um alto oficial, e todos os outros oficiais do rei da Babilônia

14 mandaram tirar Jeremias do pátio da guarda e o entregaram a Gedalias, filho de Aicam, filho de Safã, para que o levasse à residência do governador. Assim, Jeremias permaneceu no meio do seu povo.
