The prophet Jeremiah spoke out against the rulers of his day. The kings of Judah and his people neglected to care for the poor, the weak, and the sick. They also exploited the poor to give more money to the rich. Jeremiah hated that the rulers didn’t care for the immigrant in their midst.

But Jeremiah did more than speak against the rulers. He spoke for a better world. He spoke for God’s vision where rulers cared for those in need. Jeremiah warned that if the rulers continued to neglect God’s desire for justice, that the nation would fall to the Babylonian Empire. Jeremiah spoke words of doom, but Jeremiah also spoke words of hope, if only the rulers would change their oppressive ways.
