Then Jeremiah, after the army of Babylon unexpectedly withdrew its forces at a time when everything seemed favorable for an immediate attack, willingly separated himself out of the church in the eyes of the people (37:12).
Hivyo basi Yeremia, baada ya jeshi la Babeli kurudisha majeshi yake nyuma wakati ambapo kila kitu kilionekana kuwa kinafaa kwa mashambulizi ya mara moja, kwa hiari alijitenga mwenyewe kutoka katika Kanisa mbele za macho ya watu (37:12).
