Jeremiah 38:5 belongs to the account of Jeremiah's suffering for faithful integrity, when his loyalty to duty brought him to be cast into a pit. God brought him out of that pit and turned the course of events so that his case found favor with princes. His seeming defeat was no sign that God had forsaken him, for God was able to work through those very circumstances to rescue His servant and vindicate him.
