Notes

  • Many refugees who fled from Judah and nearby countries to Egypt when the Babylonians invaded heard the prophet's message.

  • Uz was a region on Arabia's northern border. Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and Ashdod were Philistine cities near the Mediterranean Sea.

  • The Lord is the supreme ruler of all nations, and their rebellion was about to bring judgment.

  • To whom I send you: Jeremiah did not travel to each nation in person. The message he delivered from the Lord spread mainly through written material, much of it in the book of Jeremiah, which people have read worldwide.
