Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, [that] when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people,.... The princes and the people, the whole body of them, who had desired the prophet to seek the Lord for them, and whom he called together to relate his answer, and declare his will; see Jeremiah 42:1; they heard him out, and that was as much as they did; for as soon as he had done, they rose up and contradicted him: however, he faithfully declared
all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God sent him to them, [even] all the words; which are related in the preceding chapter, which were the words of the Lord, and so ought to have been regarded; and the rather, as they were the words of their God, whom they professed, and which he had sent his prophet to declare unto them; and who had kept back nothing, but had made known the whole; he had told the truth, and nothing but the truth, and all the truth.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
These captains belonged to the party who had all along resisted Jeremiah’s counsels, and had led Zedekiah astray. Now however that events had proved that the prophet’s counsels had been wise and true, they cannot for shame find fault with him, but they affirm that he is under the influence of Baruch, a traitor who has sold himself to the Chaldaeans, and seeks only the hurt of the people.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XLIII
The leading men, discrediting Jeremiah's prophecy, carry the
people into Egypt, 1-7.
Jeremiah, by a type, foretells the conquest of Egypt by
Nebuchadnezzar, 8-13.
This mode of conveying instruction by actions was very
expressive, and frequently practised by the prophets. The image
of Nebuchadnezzar arraying himself with Egypt, as a shepherd
puts on his garment, is very noble. Egypt at this time
contended with Babylon for the empire of the east; yet this
mighty kingdom, when God appoints the revolution, shifts its
owner with as much ease as a shepherd removes his tent or
garment, which the new proprietor has only to spread over him.
See Jeremiah 43:12.
