While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard
Jeremiah's confinement in the courtyard of the guard occurred during the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, a time when Jerusalem was under siege by the Babylonians. This setting highlights the prophet's personal suffering and the political turmoil of the period. Jeremiah was imprisoned because his prophecies were seen as demoralizing to the people and the king, as he foretold the fall of Jerusalem. The courtyard of the guard was likely a part of the royal palace complex, indicating that Jeremiah was under close watch but still had some freedom to receive visitors and communicate his messages. This confinement symbolizes the rejection of God's word by the leaders of Judah, yet it also demonstrates that God's revelation is not hindered by human constraints.

the word of the LORD came to him
This phrase emphasizes the divine origin of Jeremiah's message. Despite his physical imprisonment, Jeremiah remains spiritually free to receive God's word. The phrase "the word of the LORD" is a common biblical expression indicating a direct communication from God, often associated with prophetic revelation. This underscores the authority and authenticity of Jeremiah's prophecies. The word of the LORD coming to Jeremiah in his confinement serves as a reminder that God's presence and guidance are not limited by human circumstances. It also reflects the continuity of God's communication with His people, even in times of distress and judgment.

a second time
The mention of a second revelation indicates that God is persistent in delivering His message, even when it is initially rejected or ignored. This persistence reflects God's patience and His desire for His people to understand and respond to His will. The second communication also suggests a reinforcement or expansion of the previous message, providing further clarity or additional details. In the broader context of Jeremiah's ministry, this repeated communication underscores the importance of the message and the urgency of the situation facing Judah. It also highlights the prophet's role as a faithful messenger, willing to convey God's word despite personal risk and opposition.

(1-3) The second time, while he was yet shut up.--The discourse that follows belongs to the same period as the preceding chapter, and presents the same general characteristics. Its connexion with the operations of the siege to which Jerusalem was exposed will be traced in Jeremiah 33:4. As with other prophecies, its starting-point is found in the thought of the majesty of the attributes of God.

Great and mighty things.--The two adjectives occur in the same combination in Deuteronomy 1:28; Deuteronomy 9:1, and this fact is in favour of the rendering "mighty" rather than "hidden," as in the margin of the A.V.

Verse 1. - In the court of the prison; rather, of the guard (Jeremiah 32:2).
