This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_38:15 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare [it] unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?
Ver. 15. If I declare it unto thee.] It is for the sins of a people that a hypocrite reigneth over them. {Job_34:30} Such a one was Zedekiah; and the prophet here freely reproveth him for his hypocrisy.
And if I give thee counsel, will thou not hearken?] Or, And though I advise thee, thou wilt not hearken to me. Thou art set, and hast made thy conclusion beforehand.
