JEREMIAH 44-45:
After all Jeremiah's messages of doom, he was
able to give a comforting message to the Judeans who had been
through so much. He might have thought, “At last I get to preach
good news.” The Lord said through him, “I feel sorry for all you
have had to suffer. Stay here. I will make the king of Babylon take
pity on you. Don't fear the Babylonians.” That's the very thing the
people had longed to hear for years. But even at this point, they
break their promise and don’t listen to Jeremiah! After that, when
he had been forcibly taken off to Egypt with the others, Jeremiah
predicted that Nebuchadnezzar would come and defeat Egypt
also.
