Verse 20
The time for divine deliverance had come and gone. The Lord had left them exposed to judgment, as grain left standing after the harvest.
"It would appear that we have here a popular proverb used in daily life when men encountered a hopeless situation from which no deliverance or escape seemed possible. Jeremiah pictured the people of Judah as having passed by one opportunity after another to repent of their rebellious ways and so be delivered or saved (Heb. nosha’) from coming judgment." [Note: Ibid., p. 306.]
