The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 39:14

So he dwelt among the people. In how many respects was Jeremiah a type of Christ! And just in these points was he an example to the spiritual worker and the Christian preacher. I. THE POSITION OF THE TRUE PASTOR . 1 . How miserably anomalous—a pastor without a flock, or living at a distance from them! There is something wrong with one or other when they remain apart.

The fall of Jerusalem (39:1-18)After eighteen months of siege, the Babylonian armies finally broke through the walls of Jerusalem (39:1-2).
