The false gods that Israel has served are worthless and lifeless, and God warns that those gods will not save them from His wrath. The nation that the Lord loved and cherished has continuously rejected Him and even mocked His authority, so the Lord will finally bring them to the ruin He promised would come. Later, at the Lord’s command, Jeremiah performs a prophetic act, one of several over the course of his life, and we’ll all try our hardest to suppress our inner six year old as we read about Jeremiah’s dirty underwear.

Jeremiah continues his pronouncement against the persistent sin of Judah as our text begins today, saying that those who trust in men are cursed and those who trust in the Lord will be blessed. The Lord instructs Jeremiah to visit the house of a potter, and in so doing he observes the potter disregarding a jar he had created because it became flawed, at which point he makes another jar. The Lord says that the house of Israel is like this lump of clay; he may do as he wishes with the nations of earth, relenting from disaster where there is repentance and relenting from good when a nation does what it is evil. Later, as we return to Proverbs, the personification of wisdom continues her speech.

In today’s episode, Jeremiah delivers a lament for the drought that has come over Judah, calling on God to deliver his people. Throughout Scripture, the Lord often relents after such prayers, but in this instance the Lord denies Jeremiah’s request, saying that this time he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins. God tells Jeremiah not to pray for these people, saying that even if Moses and Samuel were to stand before Him, He would not listen. In his anguish, Jeremiah complains about the difficulty of his work, but the Lord calls Jeremiah to repent of his words and return to Him once more.
