22 'Then behold , all of the women who have been left in the palace of the king of Judah are going to be brought out to the officers of the king of Babylon ; and those women will say , "Your close friends e Have misled and overpowered you; While your feet were sunk in the mire , They turned back ."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 38:22
Commentary on Jeremiah 38:14-28
(Read Jeremiah 38:14-28)
Jeremiah was not forward to repeat the warnings, which seemed only to endanger his own life, and to add to the king's guilt, but asked whether he feared to do the will of God. The less men fear God, the more they fear men; often they dare not act according to their own judgments and consciences.
