📚 Historical Context

Jeremiah prophesied during the final decades before Babylon destroyed Jerusalem in 586 BC. The people of Judah had repeatedly broken their covenant with God through idolatry and injustice. This verse comes in the middle of God's warnings about coming judgment, but offers a crucial promise that a remnant would survive the devastation.
