Notes

Jeremiah 17:24–25

The Lord wanted to give the people a chance to change their behavior. By choosing to obey God, the people could enjoy lasting peace and the continuation of the kingdom and the city of Jerusalem.
The promise of chariots and horses symbolized the Lord’s blessing.

Jeremiah 17:19–27

Driven by greed, the people of Jerusalem were disrespecting the Sabbath day (see Exodus 20:8–11; Deuteronomy 5:12–15). By observing the Sabbath, they would miss out on trade income. The Lord explained why they should keep the Sabbath holy.
