Then all the officials came to Jeremiah and questioned him. So he reported to them in accordance with all these words which the king had commanded; and they ceased speaking with him, since the conversation had not been overheard.So, Jeremiah was ordered to lie by the king, and he did it? He had the truth in his possession, the key to survival. He could have told more people how to survive, but instead saved his own skin.
Why did he do this? Was it because he feared for his life if he told the truth? Wouldn't God protect him, as He had done before? Or was it simply because they already knew what he had said in other situations, and he knew they would not listen?
