Notes

Jeremiah 32:17

As the all-powerful Creator of everything, the Sovereign Lord could fulfill his promises to his people.

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.
