Notes

Jeremiah 6:11–12

Jeremiah felt the Lord's anger toward the people and could not hold back his emotions.

Jeremiah 6:10–15

Jeremiah, the messenger and prosecutor, used rhetorical questions to show his love for the people. He was shocked when they responded with scorn. After showing evidence of sins by all levels of society, the prophet delivered a divine decree. The use of future tense in his indictment suggests he spoke before the invasion.
