Jeremiah has been called the weeping prophet by many. We read in 25:32, "Look! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth." V34 "Weep and wail you shepherds; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. ...v38...because of the Lord's fierce anger."
I think we would all agree that sin will eventually catch up with us. That which is done in the dark will be brought into the open by the light. The Lord sheds light on the hearts of all men, and they will be found out, those that do iniquity. Jeremiah is aware of the demise of man, and the nations that rebel against the Lord. His call is a call of repentance and turning. If we truly see the end of man, and his distance that he has caused between him and the Lord, our repentance will come easier. Jeremiah reminds us of the wrath that is to be unloaded by Lord due to the rebellion of the land.
