Today's Reading
Can you imagine the chaos that was described in today's reading? Some people willingly left to Babylon; others were dragged away. Some waited until "the coast was clear" and sneaked back in to Judah. Jeremiah was given a choice of where to live and he chose to stay with the misery of those left in the devastated land rather than having all his needs met in Babylon. We have all seen images of looting after a huge storm or something else that drives people from the city. Chaos. That's what happened in those days in Israel.
