JEREMIAH 22

GOD WARNS THE UNRIGHTEOUS KINGS + LEADERS 

Jeremiah spoke of God’s judgment towards the kings and the leaders of Judah, warning them to enact justice and righteousness. God promises that the palace, the place where they resided, will be destroyed. People of other nations will see the palace in Judah and wonder what happened for God to express that much wrath and anger. Ultimately, it was Judah’s faithlessness and worship of false gods that caused the destruction.

God gave specific messages to previous kings of Judah, warning that their deaths will not be mourned and that they will be turned over to the Babylonians.
