Geremia 38:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 38:13

So they drew up Jeremiah with cords
The men that were with Ebedmelech, as many as were necessary; he overlooking, directing, and encouraging: and he took him out of the dungeon;
alive, according to the king's orders and design, and in spite of the prophet's enemies: the thing succeeded according to wish; the Lord ordering and prospering every step: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison;
from whence he had been taken, and where he was replaced; Ebedmelech having no warrant to set him at entire liberty; nor would it have been prudent to have solicited that, which might too much have exasperated the princes; and besides, here, according to the king's order, bread was to be given him, as long as there was any in the city; so that it was the most fit and proper place for him to remain in; wherefore what Josephus F24 says, that he dismissed him, and set him free, is not true.

Geremia 38:13 In-Context

11 Ebed-melec prese seco quegli uomini, entrò nella casa del re, sotto il Tesoro; prese di lì dei pezzi di stoffa logora e de’ vecchi stracci, e li calò a Geremia, nella cisterna, con delle funi.
12 Ed Ebed-melec, l’etiopo, disse a Geremia: "Mettiti ora questi pezzi di stoffa logora e questi stracci sotto le ascelle, sotto le funi". E Geremia fece così.
13 E quelli trassero su Geremia con quelle funi, e lo fecero salir fuori dalla cisterna. E Geremia rimase nel cortile della prigione.
14 Allora il re Sedekia mandò a prendere il profeta Geremia, e se lo fece condurre al terzo ingresso della casa dell’Eterno; e il re disse a Geremia: "Io ti domando una cosa; non mi celar nulla".
15 E Geremia rispose a Sedekia: "Se te la dico, non è egli certo che mi farai morire? E se ti do qualche consiglio, non mi darai ascolto".
