Jeremiah 21:
The Great King Nebuchadnezzar
of Babylon invaded Judah and King Zedekiah of Judah sent a request to Jeremiah
through his priests hoping that God will rescue Judah. Jeremiah tells them that God was going to join Babylon against Judah, nothing will be left
in Judah, all will
be put to the sword except those that surrender to be taken as slaves to Babylon, and
Jerusalem will be destroyed by fire. Even God will destroy his own for
disobedience.
Jeremiah 22:
God sent
Jeremiah to the king of Judah, the officials, and the people who come through
the palace gates that they must do what is right and just. God insists
that the oppressed must be supported. Also, foreigners, widows, and the
fatherless should not be harmed, and innocent blood should not be spilled.
God warmed the kings of Judah who sat on David's throne earlier that if they
obey the above commands they would prosper, but if not, their palace would be a
ruin. At the end, nations would ask why God did this to Judah and their
capital, Jerusalem, and the response
would be that Judah forsook God for other gods. |

Jeremiah 23:
God cursed the nations that
scattered his people without care for them. Even though God allowed
punishment for Judah's disobedience, but the conquering nations were merciless. God says a time would come when God will raise a branch of righteousness from
David called the "Lord our Righteousness" (Jesus), who will bring justice and
fairness to the land. God is also tired of false and lying prophets who
tell dreams and prophesizes in God's name falsely. God is going to
disgrace them and bring them everlasting shame because they lead people astray.
