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.
Jeremiah 25 names a measured judgment—seventy years—and a universal cup that even empires must drink. It teaches communities to listen now, endure under God’s clock, and hope in the Lord who disciplines to heal and governs to save.
Two baskets before the temple divide the community by response, not address. God calls exiles “good,” promises to build and plant them, and gives a heart to know him, while stubborn schemes collapse under sword, famine, and plague.
Jeremiah 22 confronts the palace with God’s measure of true rule: defend the weak and do what is right. Cedar cannot cover injustice; judgment teaches a city to listen, and hope rises in the promised Branch who makes justice durable.
Jeremiah 21 overturns easy hopes for miracles by calling a besieged city to obey God’s present word: surrender to live and do justice every morning. The warning is severe, but mercy threads through it for all who listen and turn.
Jeremiah 19 pictures judgment the way a shattered jar sounds—sharp, decisive, deserved. Yet even here the Lord’s long plan aims beyond the shards, calling us to listen, turn, and hope in his restoring mercy.
Jeremiah 16 forbids marriage, mourning, and feasting to signal judgment, yet promises a return from the north that will outshine the exodus. The chapter ends with nations renouncing idols as God teaches them his power and name.
Jeremiah 15 closes the door on easy intercession and opens one for a weary prophet. The Lord judges a stubborn people, then restores his servant with “worthy words” and a wall of bronze, teaching endurance and hope in the heat of crisis.
Jeremiah 13 uses vivid sign-acts to reveal how pride rots nearness to God. The prophet pleads for humility—“give glory before darkness”—and promises tears for a flock on the brink, urging renewal that turns shame into praise.
Bones under sun and moon, soothing lies, and a missing harvest frame Jeremiah 8’s indictment. The prophet laments, asking about the balm in Gilead, and directs readers toward the only healing deep enough to reach the wound.
Isaiah 52 wakes Zion to holiness and joy. The chapter announces “Your God reigns,” orders a pure departure, and unveils the Servant whose wise, costly work cleanses the nations.
Isaiah 50 denies divine abandonment, presents a listening Servant who endures shame with steadfast trust, and summons readers to rely on the Lord’s name while refusing self-lit torches. Walk this path of obedience and find help from the near Redeemer.
Isaiah 49 lets the Servant speak and stretches hope to the ends of the earth. The chapter comforts Zion with engraved hands and promises roads through mountains as God gathers children from afar and contends for his people.
Isaiah 48 confronts stubborn hearts and announces new things created now by the Redeemer. It calls hearers to leave Babylon, learn his ways, and find peace like a river under his faithful instruction.
Isaiah 45 reveals God’s unmatched rule as he grasps Cyrus’s hand to free exiles and rain righteousness on the earth. The chapter ends with a global oath—every knee will bow and every tongue confess that in the Lord alone are strength and deliverance.
