Maintenant donc voici, aujourd'hui je t'ai dli des chanes que tu avais aux mains, s'il te plat de venir avec moi Babylone, viens et je prendrai soin de toi; mais s'il ne te plat pas de venir avec moi Babylone, demeure; regarde, toute la terre [est] ta disposition; va o il te semblera bon et convenable d'aller.
Et maintenant, voici, aujourd'hui je te dlivre des chanes qui sont tes mains. S'il est bon tes yeux de venir avec moi Babylone, viens, et j'aurai les yeux sur toi; mais, s'il est mauvais tes yeux de venir avec moi Babylone, ne viens pas. Regarde, toute la terre est devant toi: va o il est bon et droit tes yeux d'aller.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which [were] upon thine hands,.... Or rather are; for, when he said these words, it is highly probable they were on him, though now ordered to be taken off; these were not what were put upon him by the Jews, when in the court of the prison; for rather his legs, than his hands, would have had fetters on them there; but what were put upon him by the Chaldeans, when he fell into their hands; though inadvertently done by the inferior officers, and without the knowledge of the princes, or of this captain, who loosed them; with these he came manacled to Ramah, with the rest of the captives, but now were loosed in the sight of them:
if it seem good unto thee to come with me unto Babylon, come, and one will look well unto thee; or, "I will set mine eyes upon thee" r; as the king of Babylon had ordered him to do, Jeremiah 39:12; would favour him, protect him, provide for him, and use him in the most kind and generous manner:
but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me to Babylon, forbear; if it was not agreeable to him to leave his native country, and to go into Babylon, he would not urge it, but leave him to his liberty; yea, would advise him to continue where he was, and not take one step out of it:
behold, all the land [is] before thee; the land of Judea, which was at the disposal of the king of Babylon; and Jeremiah has a grant from him, by his officer, to settle where he pleased:
whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go; he left him to take his own way, and do as he thought fit; and this agrees with his master's orders to him, Jeremiah 39:12.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 40:4. Come; and I will look well unto thee — Thou art now at full liberty to do as thou pleasest; either to come to Babylon or to stay in thy own land.
