Maka sekarangpun, tengoklah, aku menguraikan segala rantai yang pada tanganmu, jikalau baik kepada pemandanganmu mengikut akau ke Babil, ikut juga, maka aku akan memandang dengan baik kepadamu; tetapi jikalau pada sangkamu tiada baik pergi sertaku ke Babil, janganlah engkau pergi; bahwasanya seluruh tanah ini adalah di hadapanmu, barang ke mana kausangka baik, pergilah juga ke sana!

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.
