Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 39:15-18.


Jeremiah 39:18

_ _ life ... for a prey — (See on Jeremiah 21:9; see on Jeremiah 38:2; see on Jeremiah 45:5).

_ _ put ... trust in me — (Jeremiah 38:7-9). Trust in God was the root of his fearlessness of the wrath of men, in his humanity to the prophet (1 Chronicles 5:20; Psalms 37:40). The “life” he thus risked was to be his reward, being spared beyond all hope, when the lives of his enemies should be forfeited (“for a prey”).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 39:11-18.
