ירמיהו, פרק ל״ט, פסוק י״ח

A divine promise of rescue serves as a direct reward for extraordinary courage and absolute trust in God. Complete salvation is assured [מצודת ציון], and this protection is carried out through God's direct providence [מלבי״ם].

To illustrate this survival, a striking image of war plunder is used [מצודת ציון]. Escaping death is compared to taking spoils from a battlefield. The individual essentially snatches his own life away from danger, securing it as his ultimate prize to keep for himself [מצודת דוד].

The right to receive such direct divine care stems entirely from a deep reliance on God [מלבי״ם]. This profound faith was demonstrated through practical action. It became evident when the individual stepped forward to help Jeremiah, speaking favorably about him before the king. He took this bold stand without any fear of the powerful national officials who were his enemies [מצודת דוד].
