Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 37:15

15 Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison, in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison .

These Princes seem more fierce against the Prophet then those that were in the time of Iehoiachim, but they proceed here upon the Captains information, cause the Prophet to be beaten, and send him to Prison, a Prison within the compass of the Court, bad enough, as appeareth by Ieremiahs complaint of his condition there to the King, verse 20. and by what followeth in the next verse.
