“When you tell this people
All these words,
They will say to you.
‘Why has Yahweh pronounced
All this great evil against us?
What is our iniquity?
What is the sin
That we have committed
Against Yahweh our God?’”
Yahweh reminds Jeremiah that the people might not like what he tells them. They will then begin to question him. Why were all these bad things happening to them? What had they done? What sin had they committed against Yahweh, their God?
