Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
Who is this traitor? He should be put to death, right? Apparently the princes thought so.
This reminds me of typical reaction anytime someone steps out of line with the official narrative. Skeptical of the COVID injection narrative? You want to kill people. Let people know that the government is spying on them? You’re a traitor. Encourage warring sides to talk? You’re just a propagandist for the other side. State the the government should abide by the constitution? You’re a right wing extremist and should be locked up.
In this passage it was Jeremiah who was speaking out (JER 38:3),
Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which shall take it.
We know that Jeremiah was right.
If you’re one of the people who aren’t afraid to speak out against the narrative or powers that be: Thank you.
