Commentary on Jeremiah 20:6

Theological / Devotional

Thou shalt come to Babylon. All the Israelites were carried away into exile except “the poorest sort of the people of the land” (2 Kings 24:14; 25:12; Jer. 40:7).

Thou hast prophesied lies. This plainly implies that Pashur claimed to be a prophet, and that he was a member of the anti-Chaldean party that urged the people to fight against the armies of Nebuchadnezzar, the party that spurned Jeremiah’s warnings not to put dependence for national safety upon an alliance with Egypt (see chs. 2:18, 36; 14:13—15; 37:5-10).
