1. If you can find one (1-13)

God promised to forgive Jerusalem if they could find one honest person who sought truth. But they swore falsely and refused to repent. The leaders were no better. Wild animals would attack them for their great rebellion and many backslidings. Their children forsook God and committed adultery, so God would punish them and avenge himself. They lied saying the Lord would do nothing, but they were wrong.

2. The fire of God's words (14-31)

Jeremiah's words would be a fire to burn up rebels and liars. Babylon would devour the fortified cities in which they trusted. God asked, "Should you not fear me? Should you not tremble in my presence?" If they repented of their stubborn, rebellious hearts they could say, "Let us fear the Lord our God" (23-24). Their wrongdoings kept the blessing of rain away. They did not seek justice or help the fatherless or poor. They loved it when prophets lied and priests ruled by their own authority.
