Jeremiah has proclaimed that those who trust in men are cursed and those who trust in the Lord will be blessed. Today, the prophet must put this very teaching into practice, for after gathering the priests, prophets, and leaders of Judah to declare the judgment of the Lord, he is beaten, put in the stocks, and humiliated by one of the priests. Both before and after this event, Jeremiah pleads with the Lord to do something about the humiliation he endures, lamenting in sorrow over the day he was born. Later, King Zedekiah sends messengers to Jeremiah asking that he might inquire of the Lord on behalf of Judah, but instead of a prophecy of favor, he receives a prophecy of destruction and captivity for the leaders of Judah.
