Introduction
The prophet bitterly laments the terrible judgments about to be inflicted upon his countrymen, and points out some of the evils which have provoked the Divine Majesty, Jeremiah 9:1-9 . Judea shall be utterly desolated, and the inhabitants transplanted into heathen countries, Jeremiah 9:10-17 . In allusion to an ancient custom, a band of mourning women is called to lament over the ruins of Jerusalem, Jeremiah 9:17 , Jeremiah 9:18 ; and even the funeral dirge is given in terms full of beauty, elegance, and pathos, Jeremiah 9:19-22 . God is the fountain of all good; man, merely an instrument by which a portion of this good is distributed in the earth; therefore none should glory in his wisdom, might, or riches, Jeremiah 9:23 , Jeremiah 9:24 . The judgments of God shall fall, not upon the land of Judea only, but also upon many heathen nations, Jeremiah 9:25 , Jeremiah 9:26 .
