Notes

Jeremiah 32:34–35

The people sinned by defiling God's Temple with terrible idols (Ezekiel 8:3). The leaders of Judah also sacrificed their children to an Ammonite god named Molech (see Jeremiah 7:30–34).

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.
