Jeremiah 40:10

As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans which will come unto us, cheerfully recognizing the authority of the governors, or satraps, representing the Babylonian government, and governing his actions accordingly; but ye, gather ye wine and summer-fruits and oil, for it was now about midsummer and therefore time for the fruits to ripen, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken. He skillfully put it so as if they were to enjoy the fruits of the land for themselves alone, in order to reduce the resentful attitude of the Jews, lest the idea of tribute-money make them rebellious at once.
