Notes

Jeremiah 32:24

Jeremiah was amazed by the Babylonians' skill. They used ramps to attack the walled city. Inside Jerusalem, he saw war, famine, and disease. It was clear the Babylonians would conquer the city. Jeremiah felt awe as he realized he was witnessing the fulfillment of the Lord's words.

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.
