Jer. 42:1–4 The leaders ask Jeremiah to seek God’s will. They are desperate and devastated and claim to desire to know the thing that they should do.
Jer. 42:7–9 Jeremiah waits for God’s word (see 28:11–12), and when it comes he summons the people. At the end of ten days. Though Jeremiah was a faithful and true prophet of God, he could not give prophecies whenever he wanted. He had to wait for the Lord to speak to him.
Jer. 42:10 Jeremiah delivers a word of promise: God has ceased bringing disaster. If the people stay in Judah, God will build and plant them, which are metaphors for renewal (1:10; 24:6; 31:28).
Jer. 42:11 with you, to save you and to deliver you. God gives the people the same promise he gave Jeremiah at his call (1:19; see also 39:17). Their lives will be as safe as Jeremiah’s has been.
Jer. 42:13–17 Rejecting God’s promise and fleeing to Egypt will result in Judah experiencing what they fear. Babylon will defeat Egypt; the exiles are safer in Judah.
Jer. 42:18 God’s anger and wrath were warned about (4:4; 7:20; 21:5), then poured out (39:1–10).
Jer. 42:19–20 Jeremiah could hardly speak more plainly: to obey means life; to disobey means death.
