b'Have you ever been watching a TV show that begins with a jump in the story\\u2019s timeline for dramatic interest, then jumps back to show the circumstances that have led up to that point? Similarly, our previous reading opened with Jeremiah in prison, but there was no explanation of how he got there. The accounts in today\\u2019s episode pre-date the events in that last episode and lead up to his imprisonment, giving us narrative detail that we haven\\u2019t yet encountered. The first two stories date back to the reign of King Jehoiakim, but the final story tells us how Jeremiah found himself under arrest.'
