In Tisha B\u2019Av\u2019s Torah reading, Moses prophesies that God will eventually annihilate and exile His people for defecting to idolatry after their conquest of the Land. In the Haftarah, Jeremiah describes the coming brutal fulfillment of that prophecy.<\/p>\n

In God\u2019s voice and with his own blistering words, Jeremiah lambasts Judah for its idolatry, deceit, and treachery. People slander and scheme against one another; after many generations, the trust and knowledge of God that undergirds society are destroyed. God, therefore, has no choice but to utterly devastate Judah, its cities, and its residents. The approaching destruction shakes the Land and terrifies the people. Foreigners will exile and further torment the few survivors. Some verses portray Judah as understanding all of this as God\u2019s planned punishment, but others show them actively rejecting these ideas.<\/p>\n

The Haftarah is a kaleidoscope of despair, switching rapidly and without clear differentiation between the distraught perspectives and actions of Jeremiah, the people, and God; these are marked below in purple. In Jeremiah\u2019s despair, he envisions and bewails God\u2019s destruction, is physically discomforted, wishes to abandon his people, and cries until out of tears. The people\u2019s despair causes them, variously, to vainly seek protection in walled cities, to feel shame at the loss of their Land, and to pointlessly confess their sin. God summons expert women mourners to magnify the public despair with lamentations, wailing, and crying.<\/p>\n

The Haftarah concludes with a complete reversal as Jeremiah presents a stirring aspiration.[1]<\/sup><\/a> Instead of measuring themselves by wealth, strength, or intellect, the people must pursue knowledge of God and found society upon kindness, justice, and righteousness.<\/p>\n
