The Ruin of People Who Turn Away
8:4 to 9:22
This small section continues the book’s proclamation of judgment on Y’hudah and Tziyon. It is similar to the collection of oracles in Chapters 4 to 6. These oracles function as witnesses to the prophetic preaching that was ignored by the people. In a poignant dialogical style, Yirmeyahu expresses his sorrow and frustration for his people and his City.
