Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 42:1-22

Jeremiah opposes going to Egypt (42:1-22)As Jeremiah had been living at Mizpah, he was probably among the people who had been captured by Ishmael and who were now thinking of fleeing to Egypt. These people therefore asked him to seek God’s guidance for them (42:1-3). Jeremiah agreed to their request, and they promised to do whatever God said, whether it pleased them or not (4-6).After ten days Jeremiah received God’s answer, and quickly passed it on to the people (7-9). God’s directions were... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 42:9-10

The Lord told the people, in classic covenant terminology, that if they remained in the land, He would build them up and plant them firmly (cf. Jeremiah 1:10; Jeremiah 24:6; Jeremiah 31:28; Deuteronomy 28). He would also lessen His punishment of them for their former disobedience-that had resulted in the Babylonian invasion (cf. Jeremiah 18:18). read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 42:10

(10) Then will I build you, and not pull you down . . .—We note the characteristic recurrence of the formulæ with which Jeremiah’s work as a prophet had begun (Jeremiah 1:10). The word for “repent” does not imply regret for the past, as men repent of their sin, but, as in Jeremiah 18:8; Jeremiah 26:3, a change of purpose from what had been the mind of judgment to one of mercy. The prophet’s counsel is, as it had been all along, that the people should accept the punishment which God had... read more
