Jeremiah 21:7

Key Reflection

In Jeremiah 21:7, God declares through the prophet that He intends to bring severe judgment upon Jerusalem by means of a devastating pestilence that will strike both humans and animals alike. For the original audience living in the time of the Babylonian siege, this threat would have been deeply ominous, as pestilences were common in ancient times and often associated with divine wrath, reflecting God's displeasure with their wickedness.
