Chaos
Chs. 40-41: These chapters describe events in Judah after the invasion.
Read Jeremiah 40.1-16. In verses 1-6: The Babylonian captain allows Jeremiah to remain in the land, even though Jeremiah had described those who stayed in Judah as bad figs (ch. 24). In verses 7-12: Under Gedaliah's governance there is peace in the land, and survivors are urged to submit to Babylon. In verses 13-16: A plot against Gedaliah is reported him, but Gedaliah cannot believe that Ishmael, a member of the royal family, would be capable of such disloyalty. Comments or Questions..
