Jeremiah 41:18
_ _ afraid — lest the Chaldeans should suspect all the Jews of being implicated in Ishmael’s treason, as though the Jews sought to have a prince of the house of David (Jeremiah 41:1). Their better way towards gaining God’s favor would have been to have laid the blame on the real culprit, and to have cleared themselves. A tortuous policy is the parent of fear. Righteousness inspires with boldness (Psalms 53:5; Proverbs 28:1). |
