Jeremiah cried for the people who have been killed.
The Lord laments that He has no choice but to judge them
God explained His reasons to Jeremiah:
That the people have become powerful in the land but not by honest means.
They do evil things and do not pay attention to God.
Everyone is on guard around people (even relatives) because everyone will find some way to cheat him.
| 4Everyone must be on his guard around his friends. He must not even trust any of his relatives.12 For every one of them will find some way to cheat him.13 And all of his friends will tell lies about him. 5One friend deceives another and no one tells the truth. |
wa very sad sia. Imagine living in those times. There is no one that can be trusted!
Therefore God is punishing them.
The coming destruction calls for mourning
Jeremiah 10
The Lord, not idols is the only worthy object of worship
Jeremiah 11
The people have violated their covenant with God
A plot against Jeremiah is revealedand he complains of injustice
God gave JEremiah knowledge that he might have understanding. And God showed Jeremiah what the people were doing. They actually made plains to kill him. So Jeremiah told God to vindicate his cause.
And God said that He will punish the people who threatened Jeremiah.
