Calamities will befall the inhabitants of Jerusalem. For them the harvest is past, the summer is ended, and they are not saved. Jeremiah sorrows greatly because of the sins of the people. They will be scattered among the nations and punished. Learn not the way of other nations. Their gods are idols and molten images. The Lord is the true and living God. The people of Judah are cursed for breaking the covenant of obedience. The Lord will not hear their prayers. Jeremiah complains of the prosperity of the wicked. If other nations learn the ways of Israel, they will be numbered with Israel.
