This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_39:16 Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be [accomplished] in that day before thee.
Ver. 16. Go and speak unto Ebedmelech the Ethiopian.] Who yet was an Israelite indeed by his faith and religion, as was likewise Jether the Ishmaelite. {1Ch_7:17 2Sa_17:25}
Thus saith the Lord of hosts.] Who will not fail to give, unto him who showeth kindness to any prophet of his, a prophet’s reward. {Mat_10:41-42}
Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil.] See Jer_20:16; Jer_44:27.
And they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.] Thou shalt see it, but shalt survive it. And this prophecy may be unto us instead of a most certain history.
