Well, if you've been paying attention to the Bible, then you already know that Jeremiah 41 is a total bummer. Basically, things aren't going great for the Israelites, and their enemies the Babylonians are getting the better of them. To make matters worse, one of their own, Ishmael, has betrayed them and taken a bunch of captives with him. It's not a great situation, and it only gets worse from there. So yeah, Jeremiah 41: Not the most fun chapter in the Bible.
