Commentary on Jeremiah 44:28
God declares that only a small number of refugees will return from Egypt to Judah, serving as witnesses that His word, not theirs, stands true. This is similar to Elijah's remnant (1 Kings 19:18) - God always preserves witnesses to His truth. The phrase 'whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs' presents history as the test of prophecy. Time vindicates God's word.
