‘It is because your ancestors forsook me
forsook?.......hmmmm. That one made me laugh
16 “But now I will send for many fishermen,” declares the Lord, “and they will catch them.
I wonder if this is a direct reference to Jesus being called the "fisher of men?" Or perhaps how many of the disciples were fisherman?......could be? I'm reaching here. I'm finding it hard to pull anything new out of these chapters. They all seem to read exactly the same. I may do a little research over the weekend on Jeremiah as an entire book. I feel like theres a great message in there, that God wants me to understand. But, I'm missing it. I will let ya know if I find anything of interest.
have a great weekend.

I don't have any great insights but did a little more research. Attach is a link that is fairly lengthy. I have not read it word for word yet, but i like the high level view it gives of the book of Jeremiah and may help our frame of reference as we continue to work our way through it. I had already noticed the importance of repenting. This link was also encouraging in pointing out how Jeremiah did not feel fit for his role but through faithfulness God did great things through him. That can be you and me if we keep the faith and walk the walk.
