Jeremiah Cast into the Cistern

Summary

In this verse, we see the dire situation of Jeremiah as he is sinking in the miry cistern, facing imminent death. The actions of Ebed-Melech, an Ethiopian eunuch, who courageously appeals to King Zedekiah for Jeremiah's rescue, demonstrate compassion and faithfulness to God's prophet. This narrative showcases the importance of standing up for what is right and intervening on behalf of those in need, even in the face of opposition or danger. It also reveals God's faithfulness in delivering His faithful servants from harm, illustrating His sovereignty and protection over those who trust in Him.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

he was there when Jerusalem was taken--These words are made the beginning of the thirty-ninth chapter by many; but the accents and sense support English Version. This chapter consists of two parts: the first describes the capture of Jerusalem, the removal of the people to Babylon, and the fate of Zedekiah, and that of Jeremiah. The second tells of the assurance of safety to Ebed-melech. Next: Jeremiah Chapter 39
