Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
If ye . . . abide—namely, under the Babylonian authority, to which God hath appointed that all should be subject (Daniel 2:37-38). To resist was to resist God.
build . . . plant—metaphor for, I will firmly establish you (Jeremiah 24:6).
I repent . . . of the evil— (Jeremiah 18:8; Deuteronomy 32:36). I am satisfied with the punishment I have inflicted on you, if only you add not a new offense [GROTIUS]. God is said to "repent," when He alters His outward ways of dealing.
