So this chapter of Jeremiah is all about the Israelites asking their prophet, Jeremiah, what they should do since they’ve been exiled to Egypt. They’re like, “Should we stay here, or should we go back home?” And Jeremiah, being the wise prophet he is, says, “Stay put, my friends. Things back home are not looking good.” But the Israelites are like, “We don’t believe you” and so they decide to go back home anyway. And, surprise surprise, it turns out Jeremiah was right. So, moral of the story: listen to your prophet, kids.
