Scripture focus

And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah’s house [shall be] brought forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those [women] shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, [and] they are turned away back.

Commentary on Jeremiah 38:22

Theological / Devotional

Women that are left. The wives and concubines of former kings who, with Zedekiah’s own wives and concubines, would be taken by “Babylon’s princes.”

Thy friends. Literally, “the men of thy peace,” that is, those who deceptively assured the king that all would turn out well. The words of the women were made more significant by their seeming reference to the “mire” in which Jeremiah had been placed (v. 6).
