Jeremiah 38:23

"‘Behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah’s house will be brought out to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women will say, “Your familiar friends have turned on you, and have prevailed over you. Your feet are sunk in the mire, they have turned away from you.”"

Key Reflection

This passage symbolizes the fall of Jerusalem and King Jehoiachin’s humiliation. It suggests that even those closest to him would abandon him, highlighting the broader theme of divine judgment and the futility of human alliances in the face of God's sovereignty.
