- Jeremiah 30:1 Though Jeremiah prophesies misfortune, he also sings of hope. In his view, as in that of the prophets who preceded him, the Lord committed himself to the covenant once and for all and without second thoughts; if he punishes his faithless people, it is in order to cleanse them of their sins and persuade them to yield unconditionally to his love. The prophet is so convinced of this that he already celebrates the return of the scattered brothers and sisters of the former northern kingdom.
