Commentary for Jeremiah 37:4
וְיִרְמְיָ֕הוּ בָּ֥א וְיֹצֵ֖א בְּת֣וֹךְ הָעָ֑ם וְלֹֽא־נָתְנ֥וּ אֹת֖וֹ בֵּ֥ית הכליא [הַכְּלֽוּא׃]
Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison.
Rashi on Jeremiah
And Jeremiah was coming and going among the people When Zedekiah assumed the throne, he gave an order and they freed him from the jail where Jehoiakim had imprisoned him, for Zedekiah was a righteous man and the people of his generation were wicked, whereas Jehoiakim was a wicked man and the people of his generation were righteous.
