    Jeremiah 37

    This chapter brings us very near the destruction of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans, for the story of it lies in the latter end of Zedekiah’s reign; we have in it, I. A general idea of the bad character of that reign, Jeremiah 37:1, 37:2. II. The message which Zedekiah, notwithstanding, sent to Jeremiah to desire his prayers, Jeremiah 37:3. III. The flattering hopes which the people had conceived, that the Chaldeans would quit the siege of Jerusalem, Jeremiah 37:5. IV. The assurance God gave them by Jeremiah (who was now at liberty, Jeremiah 37:4) that the Chaldean army should renew the siege and take the city, Jeremiah 37:6-37:10. V. The imprisonment of Jeremiah, under pretence that he was a deserter, Jeremiah 37:11-37:15. VI. The kindness which Zedekiah showed him when he was a prisoner, Jeremiah 37:16-37:21.MHBCC 783.1
