Commentary on Jeremiah 29:7

Theological / Devotional

Peace. See on ch. 6:14. To carry out this injunction to pray for Babylon must have been a most difficult experience for the exiles, in view of the natural feeling of resentment the captives would harbor against their conquerors (see Ps. 137). The Lord manifested the same kindly, tolerant spirit toward the Chaldeans that Jesus later displayed toward the inhospitable Samaritans (see Luke 9:54-56).
