Jeremiah42:10
10. If ye ... abide--namely, under the Babylonian authority, to which God hath appointed that all should be subject (Da 2:37, 38). To resist was to resist God.
build ... plant--metaphor for, I will firmly establish you (Jr 24:6).
I repent ... of the evil--(Jr 18:8; De 32:36). I am satisfied with the punishment I have inflicted on you, if only you add not a new offense [Grotius]. God is said to "repent," when He alters His outward ways of dealing.
