先知以坦然無懼的自由和真理的力量回答。

這個回答勉強說得通，因為「祭司和先知們」仍然想要殺害耶肋米亞。

然而，一群虔誠而重要的人物，那些支持約史雅改革的人，卻站在了先知這邊。

這是主在先知即將面對死亡之際所給予的意外幫助。

令人驚訝的是，對主的忠誠竟會引領祂的僕人走過一條極度危險的道路。他們屢次嚐到死亡的滋味。

儘管這聽起來很奇怪，但正是透過這種方式，他們體驗了主的力量、神的眷顧和祂的奧秘。

The prophet answers with the disarmed freedom and power of truth.

This answer is half convincing, because “priests and prophets” still want to kill Jeremiah.

However, a group of pious important people, those favorable to Josiah’s reform, side with the prophet.

It is an unexpected help from the Lord, right when the prophet was ready to face death.

It is surprising how faithfulness to the Lord leads His servants though a very dangerous path. They taste death very frequently.

Strange as it may seem, this is a way through which they experience the power, the Providence, the Mystery of the Lord.
