Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 37

Clinging to a Counterfeit Cross
Verse 10

And burn it - When God is resolved upon an effect, the instruments are little to be regarded. It is not the arm of flesh, but the power of God which is in that case to be considered.


Verse 12

Went forth - Jeremiah knowing the city would suddenly be taken, and that he could be no farther useful to the people, taking advantage of the withdrawing of the Chaldean army, resolves to go to his own country, to Anathoth, in the crowd of people that were going out.


Verse 13

Of Benjamin - The gate that looked toward the inheritance of that tribe.


Verse 16

The dungeon - The Hebrew words signify some pit, or deep hole, where were some cells or apartments, in which they were wont to keep those whom they judged great malefactors.


Verse 17

Is there - Hath God revealed any thing to thee, concerning the issue of the return of the Chaldean army.
