“And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go.”
Jeremiah is offered freedom to go to Babylon or remain under Gedaliah. This freedom granted after decades of persecution represents God's grace extended even in judgment. Jeremiah's choice to remain demonstrates pastoral commitment to the survivors.
