This phrase indicates his acceptance of the situation, reminiscent of other prophets like Elijah and Isaiah who also faced opposition. It highlights the personal nature of his ministry and the loneliness often experienced by those called to deliver God's messages.<p><b>here I am in your hands</b><br>Jeremiah acknowledges the authority of the people and leaders over his physical fate, demonstrating his vulnerability. This phrase echoes the biblical theme of submission to God's will, as seen in the lives of Joseph and Daniel, who also found themselves at the mercy of others. It underscores the prophet's trust in God's ultimate sovereignty despite human actions.<p><b>do to me</b><br>This reflects Jeremiah's acceptance of potential suffering, similar to the attitude of Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. It shows a willingness to endure hardship for the sake of truth, a common theme in the lives of biblical figures who were persecuted for their faithfulness to God.<p><b>what you think is good and right</b><br>Jeremiah appeals to the conscience and moral judgment of his audience, challenging them to consider their actions in light of divine justice. This phrase invites reflection on the nature of true justice, as defined by God, and is reminiscent of the biblical call to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God (<a href="/micah/6-8.htm">Micah 6:8</a>). It also foreshadows the trial of Jesus, where Pilate faced a similar moral dilemma.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A prophet called by God to deliver messages of warning and hope to the people of Judah.
