Contextual Overview
7 At the end of ten days the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah. 8 Then he called for Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the armies that were with him, and for all the people both small and great. 9 And he said to them, "This is what the Lord the God of Israel says, to Whom you sent me to bring Him what you asked for: 10 ‘If you will stay in this land, then I will build you up and not tear you down. I will plant you and not pull you up by the roots. For I will change My mind about the trouble that I have given you. 11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, who now fills you with fear. Do not be afraid of him,' says the Lord. ‘For I am with you to save you and take you from his hands. 12 I will show you loving-pity, so that he will have pity on you and let you stay in your own land. 13 But if you say, "We will not stay in this land," and will not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, 14 and if you say, "No, we will go to the land of Egypt, where we will not see war or hear the sound of a horn or be hungry for bread, and we will stay there," 15 then listen to the Word of the Lord, O you who are left of Judah. This is what the Lord of All, the God of Israel, says: "If you set your mind to go into Egypt, and go to live there, 16 then the sword which you are afraid of will come to you there in the land of Egypt. The hunger you are worried about will follow after you there in Egypt. And there you will die.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And said unto them, thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel,.... That had chosen Israel; had a favour for that people, and bestowed many blessings on them, and continued in a covenant relation to them; and therefore what he said should be regarded by them. This preface is made by the prophet, to show that what he was about to say was not of himself, and in his own name; but was from the Lord, and who bore a good will to them; and therefore whatever he said should be taken in good part, and as what was best for them:
unto whom ye sent me, to present your supplication before him; or, "to cause your supplication to fall before him" t; to make it in the most humble and submissive manner; and which carries in it other arguments to engage them to obey the word of the Lord he brought to them; both because they had sent him to the Lord on this errand, to get a word from him; and by him had entreated him for it, in the most suppliant manner. The word from the Lord follows:
t להפיל תחנתכם לפניו "ut cadere facerem preces vestras coram ipso", Schmidt.
