“The impressive thing here is the respect shown to Jeremiah by the
pagan authorities. Strange, is it not that the outsiders seem more able
to recognize the worth of God’s servants than God’s people do?
Familiarity, they say, breeds contempt. A prophet is not without honour
save in his own country.”
(Rev James Philip, Notes on Jeremiah 40:1-6, Gardenstown Church, Wednesday 22nd August 1956)
