Context of Jeremiah 41:15

13Now it came to pass that, when all the people that were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad. 14So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah. But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon. 16Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, to wit, the men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon. 17And they departed, and dwelt in Geruth Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,

And those justly lose comfort in real fears, who excuse themselves in sin by pretended fears.

Only those are happy and steady who fear the Lord and walk in his ways.Read the comment
