📚 Historical Context
Jeremiah prophesied during Judah's final decades before the Babylonian exile (around 626-586 BC). The people had repeatedly turned to idol worship and ignored God's warnings through various prophets. This verse comes after God describes how He will bring judgment on the nation for their unfaithfulness and idolatry.
