‏ Jeremiah 30:23-24

30:23 ^a The reestablished nation was still held accountable for rebellion. The Lord reserved the authority to express his stormy anger against the wicked.
30:24 ^b Punishment remained an important aspect of what the Lord had planned. The Israelites, including Jeremiah, found it difficult to reconcile divine promises with divine anger. Looking back on events at a later time would help the people to understand this paradox.
