b'The Lord has announced through Jeremiah that he will send Assyria from the north to conquer Jerusalem and Judah, making it a desolate wasteland. He sends Jeremiah to ensure that everyone in Judah has heard this news, going throughout Israel with this message of God\\u2019s impending wrath like a grape gatherer whose hand passes over the branches to make sure he has been thorough. This disaster is coming because the nation has rejected the Lord\\u2019s instruction. The people trust their institutions, ceremonies, and temple more than they trust the Lord Himself, as evidenced by their empty religious practices and rampant sin.'
