Today, I am reading and commenting on  Jeremiah 49-50.

Jeremiah prophesies that the nations around Judah, in fact, all of the nations with which the people of Judah would have been familiar, will fall to destruction.  Perhaps the most telling is his prediction concerning Babylon.  For all of their power, the Babylonians were not immune to God’s judgement.  Yes, God used them to bring His judgement against Judah and Jerusalem, but they took joy in the distress which they brought to others.  As we look at the world around us, we will see nations and people who suffer because of the decisions which they have made.  We should never take joy in that suffering.
