📚 Historical Context
Jeremiah spoke these words during a time of great crisis in Judah, shortly before the Babylonian exile. The people were facing military threats and had been placing their trust in political alliances, foreign gods, and their own strength rather than in God. This verse comes as part of a contrast between those who trust in human strength (who are cursed) and those who trust in the Lord.
