Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 37:21

_ _ court of the prison — (Jeremiah 32:2; Jeremiah 38:13, Jeremiah 38:28).

_ _ bakers’ street — Persons in the same business in cities in the East commonly reside in the same street.

_ _ all the bread ... spent — Jeremiah had bread supplied to him until he was thrown into the dungeon of Malchiah, at which time the bread in the city was spent. Compare this verse with Jeremiah 38:9; that time must have been very shortly before the capture of the city (Jeremiah 52:6). God saith of His children, “In the days of famine they shall be satisfied” (Psalms 37:19; Isaiah 33:16). Honest reproof (Jeremiah 37:17), in the end often gains more favor than flattery (Proverbs 28:23).

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 37:21

Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the baker's street, until all the (i) bread in the city should be consumed. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

(i) That is, so long as there was any bread in the city: thus God provides for his, that he will cause their enemies to preserve them to that end to which he has appointed them.
