Jeremiah 8:1

"Jeremiah."

Key Reflection

At the time described by Jeremiah, the people of Judah were facing severe judgment and exile due to their persistent idolatry and rebellion against God's commands. The statement in Jeremiah 8:1, "‘At that time,’ says the LORD," marks a pivotal moment where divine judgment was imminent, signaling to the audience that the events about to be described would occur during this period of national crisis, likely around the Babylonian invasion and subsequent exile of Judah.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Not the living only but the dead shall be exposed to the ruthless violence of the enemy, who will ransack the graves of the wealthier classes.
