## Chapters 4 to 6

Introduction Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapters 4 to 6 Chapters 7 to 9 Chapter 10 Chapters 11 and 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15 Chapter 16 Chapter 17 Chapter 18 Chapters 19 and 20 Chapters 21 to 23 Chapter 24 Chapter 25 Chapter 26 Chapters 27 and 28 Chapter 29 Chapter 30 Chapters 31 and 32 Chapter 33 Chapter 34 Chapter 35 Chapter 36 Chapters 37 and 38 Chapters 39 to 44 Chapters 49 to 51 Chapter 52 | #### Repentance called for: the certain judgment of God Chapter 4 resumes the subject of chapters 2, 3, and, applying it at that time to the people, tells them that, if they return, it must be unto the Lord Himself -- that neither forms nor half-measures would be of any use. After verse 4 the prophet announces the certain judgment of God, which should come from the north, and fall upon Jerusalem in destruction. #### Universal sin: Jeremiah's position In chapter 5 the sin and iniquity are shewn to be universal: rich and poor, all are alike. And "Shall not I visit for these things? saith Jehovah." Nevertheless He will not destroy entirely. The source of evil, or, at least, that which maintains it, is pointed out. The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means. Chapter 6 continues the testimony, but gives also the position of Jeremiah in the midst of all this evil. In verses 11-26 the judgment is plainly announced. The conduct of the false prophets is again marked. In both these chapters the coming of Nebuchadnezzar in judgment is evidently declared. |
