Jeremiah42:12
12 And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you , and cause you to return from own land .
We are beholden to God for all the pity, and compassion which we meet with from men, God inclineth their Hearts, though we receive the kindness from their hands.
The mercy which God here promiseth these men, is that the King of Babylon, should give them a liberty to go every one of them to their own inheritances, for at present they were banished by their own fear, from their own houses, though not from their own Countrey.
