     * Then.
       It has been doubted whether Jeremiah acted prudently in this
       decision, as the event seems to indicate the contrary, and as
       it was the evident meaning of all his predictions that the
       Jews should not prosper in their own country till the
       expiration of seventy years.  But he was evidently influenced
       by the most unbounded love to his country, for whose welfare
       he had watched, prayed, and lived; and he now chose rather to
       share her adversities, her sorrows, her wants, her
       afflictions, and her disgrace, than to be the companion of
       princes, and to sit at the table of kings.  His patriotism was
       as unbounded as it was sincere:  he only ceased to live for
       country when he ceased to breathe.
