📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Jeremiah condemns the people of Judah for their continual sin and the king’s false hope of peace. He warns that the day of the Lord will bring a severe judgment that will cut off the hope of the righteous. The chapter ends with a promise that the righteous will be saved and the tree of life will be restored.

(1) Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
