Reading for September 22nd

Read Jeremiah 20.1-6. In 20.1-6: Jeremiah's captivity. The book does not yet report the invasion of Jerusalem but, instead, portrays the disaster symbolically. Jeremiah himself is captured in the Temple by the high priest. In verses 4-6: That event becomes the occasion for Jeremiah's announcement that Babylon, mentioned for the first time in the book, will invade and destroy Judah and that the high priest and his supporters will go into captivity.
