Notes

The priests and the people would have plenty because the people would pay their tithes instead of taking from God (Malachi 3:8–12).

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.
