Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Jeremiah: The princes seem to have wholly neglected Jeremiah, till on this occasion they wanted his sanction to their purpose of going to Egypt. In order to induce him to favour them, they applied to him with one consent, in the most respectful and plausible manner: they used language to prepossess him with a favourable opinion of them, and to move his compassion; and, in words expressing great humility, they entreated his prayers in their behalf, and that he would enquire of the Lord what he would have them to do. The prophet readily acquiesced; and doubted not but that he should receive an answer from God, which he would unreservedly declare to them; and they called the Lord to witness that they would implicitly follow his directions.

I will pray: Exodus 8:29, 1 Samuel 12:23, Romans 10:1

whatsoever: Jeremiah 23:28, 1 Kings 22:14-16, 2 Chronicles 18:13-15, Ezekiel 2:7

I will keep: 1 Samuel 3:17, 1 Samuel 3:18, Psalms 40:10, Acts 20:20, Acts 20:27

Reciprocal: Jeremiah 21:2 - Inquire Jeremiah 26:2 - all the words

and it shall come to pass, [that] whatsoever thing the Lord shall answer you, I will declare [it] unto you; I will keep nothing back from you; but faithfully make known the whole mind and will of God, just as it is delivered, be it in what way soever: and though it is not expressed, he might suggest that he had some doubt on his mind whether they would obey it or not; and that he expected they would be open and free in declaring themselves on that point; since he had so readily complied with their request, and was determined to act the faithful part to them; hence the following reply:
