The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #104
104. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 38
1-3 Those who have not yet been vastated, will be vastated. (2, 3)
4-6 They made themselves still more obstinate, by perverting doctrine from the Word, and defiling it. (2)
7-13 The remnants that were not utterly falsified, were nevertheless tainted with falsities. (2, 17)
14-18 If they pervert them still farther, they will perish. (2)
19-21 Otherwise, if those remnants are not so perverted, they will not perish. (2)
22-23 It is foreseen that all things of the church will be perverted. (2)

in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city),
