📚 Historical Context
This verse describes the final period before Judah's destruction and exile to Babylon in 586 BC. For decades, God had sent prophets like Jeremiah to warn the people of Jerusalem to turn back to him, but they consistently rejected these messages. The phrase 'until there was no remedy' indicates that Judah had passed the point of no return, and God's judgment through the Babylonian conquest was now inevitable.
