Jeremiah 40:4 meaning and explanation
But now, behold, I am freeing you today from the chains that were on your wrists. If it pleases you to come with me to Babylon, then come, and I will take care of you. But if it seems wrong to you to come with me to Babylon, go no farther. Look, the whole land is before you. Wherever it seems good and right to you, go there.”
Jeremiah 40:4, Berean Standard Bible

Nebuzaradan, the Babylonian captain of the guard, speaks these words to Jeremiah at Ramah, where the prophet had been bound among the exiles headed for Babylon. The officer has just acknowledged that the LORD decreed and fulfilled this disaster because of Judah's sin, and now he releases Jeremiah and offers him a genuine choice: come to Babylon and be cared for, or stay anywhere in the land that seems good to him.
