God's Word for the Palace
Commentators note that God sends Jeremiah directly to the king's palace, a place of supreme earthly power. This demonstrates that no one, not even a king, is above God's law or exempt from His correction. John Calvin highlights this as a model of prophetic courage and a reminder that earthly authority must submit to divine instruction.
