Today's Journey is Jeremiah 37-40
I find this chapter interesting. The new king asks Jeremiah to pray for them and later when Jeremiah asks the king moves him to a better place, but yet he isn't repenting and turning to God. Since we don't know his heart it is impossible to say. Yet God used him to remove Jeremiah from those who wished to silence him and probably kill him.
Jeremiah asks a question which no one answers: "Where are the prophets?"(37:19) Jeremiah asks what about all those people who prophesied falsely. Where are they now? It is a good question. They seemed to have disappeared, yet the true prophet was suffering. It doesn't seem fair, but the world isn't fair.
It was true then and it is still true. Jesus warned his followers the world would not treat them right. So we shouldn't be surprised when it happens.
