TSK - JEREMIAH 42

  1  Johanan desires Jeremiah to enquire of God, promising
    obedience to his will.
 7  Jeremiah assures him of safety in Judea;
13  and destruction in Egypt.
19  He reproves their hypocrisy, in enquiring of the Lord that
    which they mean not to follow.

VERSE 4 
 - Jeremiah.
  The princes seem to have wholly neglected Jeremiah, till on
  this occasion they wanted his sanction to their purpose of
  going to Egypt.  In order to induce him to favor them, they
  applied to him with one consent, in the most respectful and
  plausible manner:  they used language to prepossess him with
  a favorable opinion of them, and to move his compassion;
  and, in words expressing great humility, they entreated his
  prayers in their behalf, and that he would enquire of the
  Lord what he would have them to do.  The prophet readily
  acquiesced; and doubted not but that he should receive an
  answer from God, which he would unreservedly declare to them;
  and they called the Lord to witness that they would
  implicitly follow his directions.

VERSE 7
   At this time he was waiting for a revelation from God in
  answer to the enquiries of the people; who probably thus
  delayed to make known his will, in order to shew them that
  Jeremiah did not speak of his own mind, but when and as he
  was directed.  The delay was also suited to give time for
  consideration, and to retard their rash project; and, as it
  would render them impatient, it tended to detect their
  hypocrisy, and to shew more clearly their determined
  rebellion against God.

  If ye are determined to go into Egypt, the evils which ye
  dreaded by staying in your own land shall overtake and
  destroy you there; "and there shall ye die."  God turned the

  thought themselves safe in Egypt, there Nebuchadnezzar
  destroyed both them and the Egyptians.

VERSE 19 
 - Go.
  God knew, that such was their miserable inclination to
  idolatry, that they would adopt the idolatrous worship of
  Egypt.  Add to which, their going thither for protection was
  in effect refusing to submit to the king of Babylon, to whom

  kingdoms.
