Commentary on Jeremiah 37:17
Zedekiah's secret consultation with Jeremiah shows both his curiosity about God's word and his cowardice in acting on it. Jeremiah's answer is unchanged and uncompromising - 'Thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.' True prophecy doesn't adjust to political pressure or popular demand. God's word remains consistent regardless of audience or consequence.
