Jeremiah 38:20<\/strong> \u2014 But Jeremiah said: \u201cYou will not be handed over to them. Obey, please, the voice of Jehovah in what I am telling you, and it will go well with you, and you will continue to live.<\/em> Jeremiah 38:19<\/strong> \u2014 Then King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah: \u201cI am afraid of the Jews who have deserted to the Chaldeans, for if I am handed over to them, they may deal cruelly with me.\u201d<\/em> Jeremiah 38:17<\/strong> \u2014 Jeremiah then said to Zedekiah: \u201cThis is what Jehovah, the God of armies, the God of Israel, says, \u2018If you surrender to the princes of the king of Babylon, your life will be spared, and this city will not be burned with fire, and you and your household will be spared.<\/em> Jeremiah 39:4<\/strong> \u2014 When King Zedekiah of Judah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled, going out of the city by night by way of the king\u2019s garden, through the gate between the double wall, and they continued by the way of the Arabah.<\/em> Jeremiah 39:6<\/strong> \u2014 The king of Babylon had the sons of Zedekiah slaughtered before his eyes there at Riblah, and the king of Babylon had all the nobles of Judah slaughtered.<\/em> Jeremiah 38:2<\/strong> \u2014 \u201cThis is what Jehovah says, \u2018The one who remains in this city will die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. But the one who surrenders to the Chaldeans will keep living and will have his life as a spoil and live.\u2019<\/em> Jeremiah 38:4<\/strong> \u2014 The princes said to the king: \u201cPlease have this man put to death, for this is how he is weakening the morale of the soldiers who are left in this city, as well as that of all the people, by speaking such words to them. For this man seeks, not the peace of this people, but their calamity.\u201d<\/em> Jeremiah 38:5<\/strong> \u2014 King Zedekiah replied: \u201cLook! He is in your hands, for the king cannot do anything to stop you.\u201d<\/em> Jeremiah 38:6<\/strong> \u2014 So they took Jeremiah and threw him into the cistern of Malchijah the son of the king, which was in the Courtyard of the Guard. They let Jeremiah down by ropes. Now there was no water in the cistern, only mud, and Jeremiah began to sink down into the mud.<\/em> Jeremiah 38:9<\/strong> \u2014 \u201cO my lord the king, what these men have done to Jeremiah the prophet is evil! They have thrown him into the cistern, and he will die there because of the famine, for there is no bread left in the city.\u201d<\/em> Jeremiah 38:11<\/strong> \u2014 So Ebedmelech took the men with him and went into the king\u2019s house to a place beneath the treasury, and they took from there some worn-out rags and worn-out pieces of cloth and let them down by ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern.<\/em> Jeremiah 38:15<\/strong> \u2014 Jeremiah then said to Zedekiah: \u201cIf I tell you, you will certainly put me to death. And if I give you advice, you will not listen to me.\u201d<\/em> Jeremiah 38:16<\/strong> \u2014 So King Zedekiah secretly swore to Jeremiah, saying: \u201cAs surely as Jehovah is alive, who has given us this life, I will not put you to death, and I will not hand you over to these men who are seeking to take your life.\u201d<\/em> Jeremiah 38:20<\/strong> \u2014 But Jeremiah said: \u201cYou will not be handed over to them. Obey, please, the voice of Jehovah in what I am telling you, and it will go well with you, and you will continue to live.<\/em> Jeremiah 38:28<\/strong> \u2014 Until the day that Jerusalem was captured, Jeremiah remained in the Courtyard of the Guard; he was still there when Jerusalem was captured.<\/em> Jeremiah 39:1<\/strong> \u2014 In the ninth year of King Zedekiah of Judah, in the tenth month, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and all his army came to Jerusalem, and they besieged it.<\/em> Jeremiah 39:4<\/strong> \u2014 When King Zedekiah of Judah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled, going out of the city by night by way of the king\u2019s garden, through the gate between the double wall, and they continued by the way of the Arabah.<\/em> Jeremiah 39:5<\/strong> \u2014 But the Chaldean army chased after them, and they overtook Zedekiah in the desert plains of Jericho. They captured him and brought him up to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he passed sentence on him.<\/em> Jeremiah 39:7<\/strong> \u2014 Then he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, after which he bound him with copper fetters to bring him to Babylon.<\/em> Jeremiah 39:10<\/strong> \u2014 But Nebuzaradan the chief of the guard left in the land of Judah some of the poorest people, those who had nothing at all. On that day he also gave them vineyards and fields to work.<\/em> Jeremiah 39:12<\/strong> \u2014 \u201cTake him and look after him; do him no harm, and grant whatever he asks of you.\u201d<\/em> Jeremiah 39:14<\/strong> \u2014 and had Jeremiah taken out of the Courtyard of the Guard and handed him over to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan to be brought to his house. So he lived among the people.<\/em> Jeremiah 39:16<\/strong> \u2014 \u201cGo and tell Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, \u2018This is what Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel, says: \u201cHere I am fulfilling my words on this city for calamity and not for good, and in that day you will see it happen.\u201d\u2019<\/em> Jeremiah 39:17<\/strong> \u2014 \u201c\u2018But I will rescue you in that day,\u2019 declares Jehovah, \u2018and you will not be handed over to the men you fear.\u2019<\/em> Jeremiah 39:18<\/strong> \u2014 \u201c\u2018For I will surely provide you with escape, and you will not fall by the sword. You will have your life as a spoil, because you trusted in me,\u2019 declares Jehovah.\u201d<\/em> Answers and comments for Spiritual Gems for the week of September 28 to October 4, 2026, based on

Answer 1:<\/strong> Zedekiah decided not to obey Jehovah\u2019s clear instruction to surrender to the princes of the king of Babylon. Although he was assured that things would go well for him if he obeyed, he did not act on that counsel.<\/p>
Answer 2:<\/strong> He allowed fear of what others might do to him to direct his decision. Family heads learn that they must not allow fear of man to prevent them from doing what Jehovah considers right.<\/p>
Answer 3:<\/strong> Jehovah had shown consideration not only for Zedekiah but also for those of his household. Therefore, a family head should remember that his spiritual decisions can deeply affect those in his care.<\/p>
Answer 4:<\/strong> Instead of following Jehovah\u2019s direction, Zedekiah tried to escape. Family heads do not solve spiritual problems by avoiding them; they need to face them with faith and make decisions based on Jehovah\u2019s guidance.<\/p>
Answer 5:<\/strong> The painful consequences of Zedekiah\u2019s disobedience affected his family. His example emphasizes that a family head must give priority to obeying Jehovah, since that is the best protection for his family.<\/p>What spiritual gems have you found in this week\u2019s Bible reading?<\/h2>
Spiritual Gems for JEREMIAH 38<\/h2>
Comment 1:<\/strong> Jeremiah delivered a message that may have seemed difficult to accept, but it came from Jehovah and offered a way out to preserve life. This reminds us that Jehovah\u2019s guidance is always reliable, even when it requires humility and courage.<\/p>
Comment 2:<\/strong> The princes accused Jeremiah of weakening the morale of the people because they did not like his message. We should not measure the value of counsel by how comfortable it is, but by whether it agrees with Jehovah\u2019s will.<\/p>
Comment 3:<\/strong> Zedekiah gave in to the princes when he should have defended Jehovah\u2019s prophet. Those who have responsibilities should strive to do what is right, even when others exert pressure or oppose them.<\/p>
Comment 4:<\/strong> Jeremiah suffered unjustly because he remained faithful to his commission. When we face opposition for doing what is right, his example helps us to keep carrying out our assignment and leave the outcome in Jehovah\u2019s hands.<\/p>
Comment 5:<\/strong> Ebed-melech was not indifferent to the cruelty being inflicted on Jeremiah. He spoke respectfully but firmly. We can imitate him by standing up for what is right and showing compassionate concern for Jehovah\u2019s servants.<\/p>
Comment 6:<\/strong> Ebed-melech not only wanted to help; he thought about how to do so carefully. The rags would protect Jeremiah from the ropes. This detail encourages us to give practical help in a considerate and unhurried way.<\/p>
Comment 7:<\/strong> Jeremiah spoke frankly because he knew that Zedekiah might not listen. Even so, he did not stop communicating Jehovah\u2019s message. In the ministry, we continue speaking with tact and courage even when not everyone accepts Bible counsel.<\/p>
Comment 8:<\/strong> Zedekiah acknowledged that Jehovah is the one who gives life. However, acknowledging a truth is not enough if we do not let it influence our decisions. Genuine faith is shown by obeying Jehovah\u2019s voice.<\/p>
Comment 9:<\/strong> Jehovah told Zedekiah not only what he should do but also what good result would come from obeying. His commands are never arbitrary; they reflect his desire for his servants to do well.<\/p>
Comment 10:<\/strong> Jeremiah remained in the Courtyard of the Guard until Jerusalem was captured. Despite being restricted, he continued to be faithful. Difficult circumstances do not have to prevent us from maintaining our loyalty to Jehovah.<\/p>Spiritual Gems for JEREMIAH 39<\/h2>
Comment 1:<\/strong> The siege of Jerusalem was a painful and prolonged reality. What Jehovah had announced through his prophets came true. This strengthens our confidence that all of Jehovah\u2019s words will be fulfilled at the proper time.<\/p>
Comment 2:<\/strong> Zedekiah and his soldiers fled by night, but they could not escape the consequences of rejecting divine guidance. Trying to hide or avoid a problem never substitutes for obedience to Jehovah.<\/p>
Comment 3:<\/strong> Zedekiah was caught precisely when he was trying to flee. This account teaches us that Jehovah sees what is happening and that no one can escape the consequences of deliberately disobeying his instructions.<\/p>
Comment 4:<\/strong> Zedekiah\u2019s sad end demonstrates how serious it is to repeatedly disregard Jehovah\u2019s guidance. This warning moves us to respond promptly when the Bible helps us see that we need to make changes.<\/p>
Comment 5:<\/strong> Some poor people were given fields and vineyards to work. Even in the midst of a devastating situation, basic needs were cared for. This may remind us that Jehovah knows the needs of humble people.<\/p>
Comment 6:<\/strong> Jeremiah had been treated unjustly, but he received protection. Jehovah can care for his servants in unexpected ways. Therefore, when we suffer for being faithful, we have reason to remain calm and trust in him.<\/p>
Comment 7:<\/strong> After having been imprisoned, Jeremiah lived among the people. Jehovah did not abandon his prophet. His care assures us that he values the faithfulness of those who continue doing his will under difficult circumstances.<\/p>
Comment 8:<\/strong> Jehovah confirmed to Ebed-melech that his words of calamity would come true. He always fulfills what he says, both his warnings and his promises. This certainty motivates us to take his Word very seriously.<\/p>
Comment 9:<\/strong> Ebed-melech may have felt intimidated by powerful men, but Jehovah promised to rescue him. When we do what is right, we do not need to let fear of people dominate us, because Jehovah can sustain us.<\/p>
Comment 10:<\/strong> Jehovah emphasized that Ebed-melech would be rescued because he had trusted in Him. His trust was evident from his acting in Jeremiah\u2019s behalf. We too demonstrate our trust in Jehovah when we obey and courageously do what is good.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
