Notes

Jeremiah 32:30

The people of Israel (the northern tribes) and Judah (the southern tribes) had worshiped idols for centuries, against God's ancient agreement with them. The Lord was very angry about these actions.

Jeremiah 32:30–35

The Lord reaffirmed his plans, explaining that Israel and Judah had done wrong. They turned away from the Lord and made him angry with their sins.

Jeremiah 32:26–41

The Lord answered Jeremiah's concern (Jeremiah 32:25) with several affirmations. The Lord had chosen his plan, set future events, and real doom threatened Jerusalem.

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.
