Thirty-seven years after King Jehoiachin was taken away as a prisoner, on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of that year, King Evil-merodach of Babylon showed kindness to Jehoiachin by releasing him from prison. This was in Evil-merodach’s first year as king. The king of Babylon treated Jehoiachin kindly and gave him a position of honor above the other kings. So Jehoiachin laid aside his prison clothes and, for the rest of his life, always ate at the king’s table. At the command of the king of Babylon, everything that he needed was given to him each day until his death.

7 Days
Jeremiah was an unlikely prophet—young and inexperienced. Yet God chose him to deliver an unpopular message to a rebellious people, warning them of coming devastation and calling them to repent. Despite fierce opposition, Jeremiah lived with integrity and faith. He proclaimed God’s message with compassion and tears, communicating God’s faithful love and sovereign justice and the promise of a future when God would once again restore his people.
