Jeremiah 37 General Notes
Important figures of speech in this chapter
Ironic situation
Jeremiah was thrown into prison and beaten for prophesying the word of God. Then the king asked him, "Is there any word from Yahweh?" This is a type of irony. The king simply did not agree with God's original word. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/wordofgod)
