Jeremiah 40 unfolds the sober work of rebuilding after judgment. A freed prophet, a careful governor, and a remnant at harvest show how God preserves seeds for future mercy.
Jeremiah 39 records the fall of Jerusalem with calendar precision and personal mercy. Zedekiah is captured, the city burns, and yet the Lord preserves his prophet and promises life to a humble servant who trusted him.
Jeremiah 38 lowers a prophet into a muddy cistern and lifts him out by a foreigner’s hand. The Lord still offers life through surrender, exposing fear, calling for courage, and promising safety on his terms.
In Jeremiah 37 a brief lull tempts Judah to chase Egypt and ignore God’s voice. The prophet is beaten, moved to a courtyard, and kept alive by daily bread while the same unaltered word calls the city to heed the Lord.
Jeremiah 36 follows a scroll from temple steps to a royal firepot. The king burns it; God rewrites it—and adds more. Courageous hearing and humble repentance remain the path to mercy.
Jeremiah 35 places the Rekabites in the temple as a living parable. Their steady fidelity rebukes Judah’s deafness and invites long obedience under God’s repeated call.
Jeremiah 34 confronts oath-breaking under siege: a public release of Hebrew slaves is revoked, and God answers with a mirror verdict. The chapter ties worship to justice and shows mercy’s thread in Zedekiah’s promised end.
Under siege, God says “Call to me,” then answers with cleansing, wedding songs, and a righteous Branch who brings justice. Creation’s daily rhythms seal his promises and steady hope.
Under siege and in chains, Jeremiah buys a field as a sign that God will restore. The Lord answers with “Is anything too hard for me?” and vows an everlasting covenant of good.
Jeremiah 31 answers sorrow with a covenant written on hearts and secured by God’s cosmic decrees. Gathered families, rebuilt towns, and glad worship announce a future where mourning turns to joy.
Jeremiah 30 gathers storm and song: God disciplines in due measure and restores with covenant mercy. He breaks the yoke, raises a ruler from among his people, and fills the ruins with thanksgiving.
Jeremiah 29 meets God’s people in exile and calls them to patient, prayerful presence under his hand. Seventy years of waiting end in promised restoration and renewed fellowship with the God who listens.
Hananiah breaks Jeremiah’s yoke and promises a two-year turnaround. God answers with iron and verifies his word the same year, teaching communities to resist pleasant lies and to live inside God’s appointed season.
With a wooden yoke on his neck, Jeremiah tells kings and priests that life lies in submitting to God’s declared plan. The Lord will keep his promises, guarding even temple vessels “until the day I come for them,” and will restore in his time.
