Israel is as potter’s clay in the hands of the Lord. If nations repent, the Lord withholds the evil decreed against them. The people of Judah will be scattered. The Lord will bring evil upon Judah. They sacrifice their children to Baal. In the siege they will eat the flesh of their sons and daughters. Jeremiah is smitten and put in the stocks. He prophesies that all Judah will be taken captive by Babylon. Jeremiah foretells the siege, captivity, and destruction of Jerusalem. Zedekiah is to be taken captive by Nebuchadrezzar. David’s throne stands or falls according to the obedience of the kings. The judgments of the Lord rest upon the kings of Judah.
