1.Jeremiah sends a letter to the captives in Babylon to be quiet there,
8.and not to believe the dreams of their prophets;
10.and that they shall return with grace after seventy years.
15.He foretells the destruction of the rest for their disobedience.

30.Jeremiah foretells his doom.














Because of them
This phrase refers to the false prophets Zedekiah and Ahab, who misled the people of Judah. Their actions had significant consequences, serving as a warning against false prophecy. In the broader biblical context, false prophets are consistently condemned (Deuteronomy 18:20-22), and their presence is a recurring issue throughout the Old Testament.

all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon
The exiles of Judah were those taken captive during the Babylonian conquest, which began in 605 BC and culminated in the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC. This period of exile was a pivotal moment in Jewish history, as it led to the development of the Jewish diaspora. The exiles were living in a foreign land, facing the challenge of maintaining their faith and identity away from their homeland.

will use this curse
Curses in the biblical context were serious pronouncements, often invoking divine judgment. The use of a curse here indicates the severity of the false prophets' actions and the community's desire for justice. Curses were a common cultural practice in the ancient Near East, reflecting the belief in the power of words to affect reality.

‘May the LORD make you like Zedekiah and Ahab
Zedekiah and Ahab were false prophets who misled the people, and their fate became proverbial. This curse reflects the community's disdain for those who lead others astray and the desire for divine retribution. The invocation of the LORD in the curse underscores the belief in God's ultimate justice and authority.

whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire!’
The phrase "roasted in the fire" indicates a severe and public punishment, likely intended as a deterrent to others. This method of execution was not uncommon in ancient times and is mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, such as in the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Daniel 3). The king of Babylon, likely Nebuchadnezzar, was known for his harsh treatment of those who opposed him, and this punishment reflects the brutal realities of the time.

Persons / Places / Events
1.Zedekiah and Ahab
These are not the well-known King Zedekiah of Judah or King Ahab of Israel, but rather two false prophets among the exiles in Babylon. They were notorious for their false prophecies and immoral behavior, leading to their execution by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.

2.Exiles of Judah
These are the people of Judah who were taken captive and exiled to Babylon. They are the audience to whom Jeremiah's letter, including this verse, is addressed.

3.Babylon
The empire that conquered Judah and took its people into exile. It serves as the backdrop for the events described in this passage.

4.Nebuchadnezzar
The king of Babylon who executed Zedekiah and Ahab. His actions against these false prophets serve as a warning to the exiles.

5.Jeremiah
The prophet who conveyed God's message to the exiles in Babylon, warning them against false prophets and encouraging them to seek the welfare of the city where they were exiled.
Teaching Points
The Danger of False Prophecy
False prophets can lead people away from God's truth, resulting in severe consequences. We must discern and adhere to true biblical teaching.

God's Justice
God's justice is evident in the punishment of Zedekiah and Ahab. He holds individuals accountable for leading others astray.

The Importance of Discernment
Believers must be discerning, testing all teachings against Scripture to avoid being misled by false prophets.

God's Sovereignty in Exile
Even in exile, God is in control. He uses circumstances to purify and instruct His people, as seen in the lives of the exiles in Babylon.

The Power of a Godly Example
The contrasting outcomes of Zedekiah and Ahab with faithful figures like Daniel and his friends remind us of the impact of living a life aligned with God's will.

What Does Jeremiah 29:22 Mean
Because of them,

• “Them” points back to Zedekiah son of Maaseiah and Ahab son of Koliah (Jeremiah 29:21).

• God declares these two men to be false prophets who “have committed an outrage in Israel” (Jeremiah 29:23).

• Their lies threatened the faith and stability of the exiled community, much as earlier false prophets had misled Judah (Deuteronomy 13:1-5;Jeremiah 23:16).

• The Lord’s response shows that deceit spoken in His name brings real, visible judgment.

all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon

• The audience is every deported Judean living under Nebuchadnezzar (Jeremiah 29:1).

• God is working with these exiles, promising future hope (Jeremiah 29:10-14) yet also preserving holiness among them (Ezekiel 11:16-21).

• Their shared experience in a foreign land gives the coming curse a communal weight—everyone will know the story firsthand.

will use this curse:

• A curse formula was a common way to wish divine judgment upon wrongdoers (Numbers 5:21;Psalm 109:17).

• By turning Zedekiah and Ahab into a proverb, God ensures their fate becomes a standing warning (Deuteronomy 28:37;Jeremiah 24:9).

• The whole community will quote it, reinforcing that opposing God’s truth is never forgotten.

‘May the LORD make you like Zedekiah and Ahab,

• The wording puts the Lord at the center—He, not Babylon, is the final Judge (Psalm 75:7).

• Mentioning the men by name personalizes the curse; it is not abstract but tied to real historical figures whose fate is documented (Jeremiah 29:21).

• Anyone tempted to mimic their rebellion hears this as a sober deterrent (Proverbs 26:10).

whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire!’

• Nebuchadnezzar literally executed them by burning, a punishment he could impose at will (Daniel 3:19-20 shows the same king using fire).

• The graphic detail reminds exiles that divine judgment can be carried out through earthly authorities (Romans 13:4).

• Fire imagery underscores total destruction (Genesis 19:24;Revelation 20:15), signaling God’s abhorrence of false prophecy.

• Their deaths, witnessed or soon heard about by the exiles, stamped the curse with undeniable credibility.

summary

Jeremiah 29:22 turns the fate of two specific false prophets into a community-wide proverb. Because Zedekiah and Ahab knowingly spoke lies in God’s name, the Lord handed them over to Nebuchadnezzar, who burned them alive. From then on, every Judean exile in Babylon would invoke their names as a dire warning: “May the LORD make you like Zedekiah and Ahab.” The verse teaches that God guards the purity of His word, that He judges rebellion in real history, and that He uses even pagan rulers to display His righteousness so His people will fear Him and remain faithful.

(22)Of them shall be taken up a curse . . .--We note the characteristic tendency of Hebrew thought to fix on individual cases of highest blessedness, as inRuth 4:11, or of deepest shame, as here, and to bring them into formulae of blessing and of cursing.

Verse 22. -A curse;i.e. a formula of cursing (comp.Isaiah 65:15). There is here a play upon words, such as the Biblical writers delighted in, partly with the view of assisting the memory. "A curse" is in Hebrewkelalah, and "to roast" iskalah.Roasted in the fire. "Casting into the midst of a burning fiery furnace" was a common punishment both among the Assyrians and the Babylonians, see e.g. ' Records of the Past,' vol. 9. p. 56; and comp.Daniel 3.
