Israel and Judah will be as a rotted and decayed belt. The people are commanded to repent. Judah will be taken captive and scattered as stubble. Jeremiah prays because of dearth and famine. The Lord will not hear because of the wickedness of his people. The people of Judah will suffer death, the sword, famine, and captivity. They will be scattered into all the kingdoms of the earth. Jerusalem will be destroyed. The utter ruin of Judah is foreseen. Israel is rejected and scattered for serving false gods. Fishers and hunters will gather Israel again, and the people will serve the Lord. The gospel is to be restored for the last time. The captivity of Judah comes because of sin and forsaking the Lord. Hallow the Sabbath day; doing so will save the people; otherwise they will be destroyed.
