Commentary on Jeremiah 21:8
The 'way of life' and 'way of death' recalls Moses' final sermon (Deut 30:15-19). God's covenant faithfulness includes both blessing and curse; here Jeremiah presents a stark choice - surrender to Babylon (life) or resist (death). This counter-intuitive counsel tested whether Judah trusted God's word over nationalistic pride. Christ later uses similar language about narrow and wide ways (Matt 7:13-14).
