Jeremiah 32:26-35

We have here the Lord's gracious answer to the Prophet's prayer, Isaiah 65:24. I think it not altogether improbable, but, as the Lord had directed Jeremiah to buy the field in Anathoth, even in the prospect of the ruin of the whole nation; that Jeremiah had some hopes that the Lord would still spare the people from captivity. The Lord's answer throws down all those hopes. The sentence is gone forth, and the Lord will not reverse it. Oh! what a lesson in all ages of the Church, to seek the Lord while he may be found, and not to put off from day to day.
