Faithfulness Framed as Treason
Commentators highlight the deep irony of Jeremiah's arrest. He was accused of 'falling away to the Chaldeans,' a charge stemming directly from his faithful proclamation of God's message that Judah would fall. As one scholar notes, his own prophetic words were likely twisted and used against him. This shows how faithfulness to God can be misunderstood and misrepresented by the world as betrayal.
