Notes

Jeremiah 32:23

After Israel entered the Promised Land, they soon stopped obeying the Lord. Each generation up to Jeremiah's time rebelled. This long history of sin caused the current disaster. Earlier, Jeremiah struggled to see this act of God as fair, but now he understood that the Lord's word was true.

Jeremiah 32:16–25

This prayer of Jeremiah was different from his earlier ones. Those were full of anguish, despair, and even criticism of the Lord's treatment of Judah. This prayer was calm, affirming, and worshipful.

Jeremiah 30:1–33:26

People often call these four chapters "The Book of Consolation," a highlight in Old Testament revelation. Unlike the many judgment messages Jeremiah gave his people, these messages are full of hope and promise a wonderful future restoration.
