SEV Biblia, Chapter 37:21
Entonces dio orden el rey Sedequías, y depositaron a Jeremías en el patio de la guarda, haciéndole dar una torta de pan al día, de la plaza de los Panaderos, hasta que todo el pan de la ciudad se gastase. Y quedó Jeremías en el patio de la guarda.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 37:21
Verse 21. Then Zedekiah-the court of the prison] Was contiguous to the king's house, where the prisoners could readily see their friends. Give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street] From the public stores; which he received till all the provisions were spent.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The Chaldean army will return. (Jer. 37:1-10) Jeremiah is imprisoned (Jer. 37:11-21)
Jer. 37:1-10 Numbers witness the fatal effects of other men's sins, ye heedlessly step into their places, and follow the same destructiv course. When in distress, we ought to desire the prayers of minister and Christian friends. And it is common for those to desire to be prayed for, who will not be advised; yet sinners are often hardened by a pause in judgments. But if God help us not, no creature can. Whateve instruments God has determined to use, they shall do the work, thoug they seem unlikely.
Jer. 37:11-21 There are times when it is the wisdom of good men to retire, to enter into their chambers, and to shut the doors, Is. 26:20 Jeremiah was seized as a deserter, and committed to prison. But it is no new thing for the best friends of the church to be belied, as in the interests of her worst enemies. When thus falsely accused, we may den the charge, and commit our cause to Him who judges righteously Jeremiah obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful, and would not, to obtain mercy of man, be unfaithful to God or to his prince; he tell the king the whole truth. When Jeremiah delivered God's message, he spake with boldness; but when he made his own request, he spak submissively. A lion in God's cause must be a lamb in his own. And God gave Jeremiah favour in the eyes of the king. The Lord God can make even the cells of a prison become pastures to his people, and wil raise up friends to provide for them, so that in the days of famin they shall be satisfied __________________________________________________________________
