Chapter 32 – Jeremiah Buys a Field

This lengthy chapter offers something of a summary of the book. Jeremiah is again in prison for speaking words that the leadership finds upsetting. He again explains what he has heard from God. The object lesson of the purchasing of land is set out to demonstrate that land will again be bought and sold in the region, even though it is now being devastated. Again, we have a prayer of Jeremiah and again we have a lengthy word from God. 
This chapter exists within a section of the book that is often called the “Book of Comfort”. God is going ahead of the people and he promises a new heart, one heart. 
Restoration will come.
