Jeremiah 43:1 Summary

[Jeremiah 43:1 tells us that Jeremiah finished speaking all the words God had given him to say to the people. This means Jeremiah was faithful to deliver God's message, even if it was hard to hear, like in Ezekiel 2:3-7. He was being obedient to God, just like we are called to be in Romans 12:1-2. By looking at Jeremiah's example, we can learn to trust God and obey Him, even when it's difficult, and to speak His words to those around us, as seen in Matthew 28:18-20.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What was Jeremiah's role in this passage?

Jeremiah was a prophet sent by God to speak His words to the people, as seen in Jeremiah 43:1, similar to other prophets like Moses in Exodus 4:12 and Isaiah in Isaiah 6:8-9.

What was the content of Jeremiah's message?

The Bible doesn't specify the exact content of Jeremiah's message in Jeremiah 43:1, but based on the context of Jeremiah 42:7-22, it's likely that he was warning the people not to go to Egypt, as God had instructed him to say.

How did the people respond to Jeremiah's message?

The people, particularly the arrogant men, rejected Jeremiah's message, accusing him of lying and being influenced by Baruch, as seen in Jeremiah 43:2-3, similar to the reactions of the Israelites to Moses in Numbers 14:1-4 and the Pharisees to Jesus in Matthew 12:24.

What can we learn from Jeremiah's obedience to God?

Jeremiah's obedience to God, despite the potential danger and rejection, is an example for us to follow, as seen in Jeremiah 1:7-8 and 26:12-15, and is reminiscent of other faithful servants like Abraham in Genesis 12:1-5 and Daniel in Daniel 6:10.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some ways I can be more obedient to God's voice in my life, even when it's difficult or unpopular?
  2. How can I trust God's plan for my life, even when I don't understand it, like Jeremiah did in Jeremiah 42:7-22 and 43:1?
  3. What are some times when I have rejected God's message or plan, and how can I learn from those experiences, as the Israelites did in Deuteronomy 1:26-46 and the prodigal son did in Luke 15:11-32?
  4. How can I be more like Jeremiah, speaking God's words to those around me, as seen in Jeremiah 1:9-10 and Ezekiel 3:1-11?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 43:1

And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words, No JFB commentary on this verse.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 43:1

CHAPTER 43 Johanan and the commanders discredit Jeremiah’ s prophecy, , and, with the people, carry him and Baruch into Egypt, . He prophesieth, by a type, the conquest of Egypt by the Babylonians, . The Hebrew word which we translate words signifieth also things. The prophet is very exact in letting us know that he had from the Lord what he delivered to them, he therefore twice repeats it, the words of the lord their God, and for which the Lord had sent him to them: not that the prophets always limited themselves to those syllabical words they had revealed to them, but to the matter only of the revelation; which every minister of the gospel is still bound to do, delivering to the people only what they have received from the Lord, as , as to the matter and substance of what they deliver, though they clothe it with words and phrases of their own.

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 43:1

Jeremiah 43:1 And it came to pass, [that] when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, [even] all these words,Ver. 1. And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end, &c.] See here how wicked men, and hypocrites especially, grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. Balaam being resolved to curse, however, went not as at other times but set his face toward the wilderness. Now he would build no more altars, but curse whatever came of it; so would these refractories, without God’ s good leave, go down to Egypt, putting it to the venture. Jeremiah’ s sweet words were even lost upon them.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 43:1

CHAPTER XLIII The leading men, discrediting Jeremiah's prophecy, carry the people into Egypt, 1-7. Jeremiah, by a type, foretells the conquest of Egypt by Nebuchadnezzar, 8-13. This mode of conveying instruction by actions was very expressive, and frequently practised by the prophets. The image of Nebuchadnezzar arraying himself with Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment, is very noble. Egypt at this time contended with Babylon for the empire of the east; yet this mighty kingdom, when God appoints the revolution, shifts its owner with as much ease as a shepherd removes his tent or garment, which the new proprietor has only to spread over him. See Jeremiah 43:12. NOTES ON CHAP. XLIII

Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 43:1

These captains belonged to the party who had all along resisted Jeremiah’s counsels, and had led Zedekiah astray.
