Summary

This verse depicts the fear and uncertainty among the people of Judah after the assassination of Gedaliah, the governor appointed by the Babylonians. They were afraid of retaliation from the Babylonian army due to this violent act. Despite their distress, they were unsure of what to do next and where to seek refuge. This event serves as a reminder of the consequences of rebellion and the chaos that ensues when people turn away from God's guidance and wisdom.
