Context — Jerusalem Will Fall to Babylon
6I will strike down the residents of this city, both man and beast. They will die in a terrible plague.’
7‘After that,’ declares the LORD, ‘I will hand over Zedekiah king of Judah, his officers, and the people in this city who survive the plague and sword and famine, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to their enemies who seek their lives. He will put them to the sword; he will not spare them or show pity or compassion.’
8Furthermore, you are to tell this people that this is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
9Whoever stays in this city will die by sword and famine and plague, but whoever goes out and surrenders to the Chaldeans who besiege you will live; he will retain his life like a spoil of war. 10For I have set My face against this city to bring disaster and not good, declares the LORD. It will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, who will destroy it with fire.’Cross References

Jeremiah 21:8 Summary
In Jeremiah 21:8, God tells us that He sets before us two paths, one leading to life and the other to death. This means we have a choice to make, and the choice we make has consequences. As Deuteronomy 30:19 says, we should choose life, and to do that, we need to seek God's will and guidance, trusting in Him to direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). By choosing the way of life, we can experience God's blessings and live a life that honors Him.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to have the way of life and the way of death set before us?
According to Jeremiah 21:8, God sets before us two paths, one leading to life and the other to death, giving us a choice, as seen in Deuteronomy 30:19 where it says 'I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.'
Is this verse talking about physical life and death or spiritual life and death?
While the context of Jeremiah 21:8 is talking about physical life and death in the face of the Babylonian invasion, the principle of choosing between life and death is also a spiritual one, as seen in Romans 6:23 where it says 'For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.'
How can we know which path is the way of life and which is the way of death?
According to Jeremiah 21:8, God sets before us the way of life and the way of death, and in Deuteronomy 30:19, it says we should choose life, implying that we need to seek God's will and guidance to know which path to choose, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6 where it says 'Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.'
What is the significance of God setting before us these two paths?
By setting before us the way of life and the way of death, God is emphasizing our responsibility to choose, as seen in Joshua 24:15 where it says 'And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.'
Reflection Questions
- What are the ways of life and death that God has set before me in my current circumstances?
- How can I seek God's guidance to know which path to choose?
- What are the spiritual implications of choosing the way of life or the way of death?
- How can I trust in God's sovereignty while still making choices that align with His will?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 21:8
And unto the people thou shalt say, thus saith the Lord,.... These are the words, not of the prophet to the messengers of the king, ordering or advising them what they each of them should say to the
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 21:8
And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 21:8
I tell you the way that you should take if you would save your lives, and the course which if you take you will certainly lose your lives.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 21:8
Jeremiah 21:8 And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.Ver. 8. Behold, I will set before you the way of life and the way of death.] They should have their option, but a very sad one. Saved they could not be from their enemies but by their enemies, nor escape death but by captivity, which is a kind of living death, and not much to be preferred before death. Only life is sweet, as the Gibeonites held it, and therefore chose rather to be "hewers of wood and drawers of water" than to be cut off with the rest of the Canaanites.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 21:8
(8) The way of life, and the way of death.—The words are not unlike those of Deu 11:26-27; Deuteronomy 30:15; Deuteronomy 30:19, but there is something like a solemn irony in their application here. They obviously present themselves, not with the wide spiritual application with which they meet us there, but are to be taken in their lowest and most literal sense. The “way of life” is no longer that way of righteousness which the men of Judah had forsaken, leading to the life of eternal blessedness, but simply submission to the Chaldæans, and the life so gained was one of exile and poverty, if not of bondage also.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 21:8
Verse 8. Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.] Meaning escape or destruction in the present instance. This is explained in the next verse.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 21:8
8–10. See introd. note to section. Owing to such advice Jeremiah was later charged with lack of patriotism, and in fact with treachery (Jeremiah 37:13 ff., Jeremiah 38:2 ff.).
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 21:8
Compare the marginal reference; but here the alternative is a life saved by desertion to the enemy, or a death by famine, pestilence, and the sword within the walls.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 21:8
8. Way of life… death — A grim and ghastly echo of Deu 30:19. Here the alternatives are, life saved by desertion to the enemy, or death by sword, pestilence, and famine.
