Matthew Henry calls Jeremiah a lion with regard to God's cause; a lamb with regard to his own cause.
God's providential Cause: King Zedekiah will be handed over to Babylon. So, where are your prophets now who said that you would not.
Jeremiah's emotional Cause: Please do not send me back to the prison hole lest I die. The King listened. And that prison opportunity became a pasture for freedom and bread and life. We may not get the answers we want today. Will we trust through the injustice of what has been done to us. Let God take care of it.
