Jeremiah once again adds his personal reflection to his message of judgment. Judah has brought the impending disaster, this doom
onto herself because of her ways and deeds.
The consequences they will face will be bitter.
This bitterness has reached their very hearts.
The consequences of breaking the Lord’s covenant will have a deep and profound impact on the people of Judah. A nation has sown the wind; now it must reap the whirlwind

18 C'est là le produit de tes voies et de tes actions, C'est là le produit de ta méchanceté; Certes cela est amer, cela pénètre jusqu'à ton cœur.
