This chapter begins with Jeremiah’s confinement in the courtyard. The word of Yahweh came to him regarding the houses in the city and royal palaces which had been torn down and used to make siege ramps and sword to fight the Babylonians. The Elohim had watch as Israel was filled with dead bodies and Yahweh exerted his wrath and anger upon Yisrael because they did not call upon him. Hence, he sought to hide his face from them because of all their wickedness.
Yet Elohim would not, as he chooses to bring healing and health to his people. It’s an irony that despite our sins; Jesus died for us; he doesn’t reward us according to our deeds as he did with Yisrael. He brought Israel and Judah back from captivity and gave them security and peace.
In verse 10, the Yahweh saith that people called them desolate and a waste place without animals and people, but he would surround them with sounds of Joy and gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of those who bring thanksgiving to the house of Yahweh saying Give thanks to Hashem Almighty, for Elohim is good and his mercies endures forever. As the Psalmist saith.
The days coming.
In verse 23, People were saying that the Jehovah had rejected the kingdom he chose, so they despise Elohim’s people and no longer regarded them as a nation.
As Christian you have been in a season when it seems Elohim has rejected you and you are mocked that you are desolate, and you have been despised as Israel. Yahweh’s promises he made to his people still stands.
His promises
David will never fail to have a man to sit on throne of Israel, nor will Yahshua (Jesus) our high priest fails to stand continually to present his sacrifices on our behalf. The word came to me saying: “If you can break Yahweh’s covenant with day and night, so that day and night no longer come at the appointed time.” then Yahweh covenant with David his servant – and covenant with Jesus’ interceding before him can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne. (Since, Jesus is alive and was raised on the 3rd day, we have a coming king, who will reign as David Descendant, and no one can break the timeline of day and night, God covenant to David fulfilled through Christ cannot be removed).
Elohim will make the descendants of David his servant minister before Yahweh as countless as the stars in the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore. (Genesis 26: 4; I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed). Similar enough, David ministers, Abraham creates.
If Yahweh has not made his covenant with day and night and established the laws of heaven and earth, then he will reject us the descendants of Jacob and David your servant and will not have choose one of his sons to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes[e] and have compassion on them.
