Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28,
The Old Testament Readings: Weekly Comments on the Revised Common
Lectionary, Howard Wallace Audrey Schindler, Morag Logan, Paul Tonson, Lorraine Parkinson, Theological Hall of the Uniting Church,
Melbourne, Australia.
 | "There are no easy answers here,
no straightforward turn either to redemption or to the possibility
of resurrection. This poem is an invitation to stand in silence, the
silence where no people live, and no birds sound, and contemplate
the possibility of complete destruction." |

Theological Message, Ways to Present the Text. Anna Grant-Henderson, Uniting
Church in Australia.
| "The anguish of the prophet appears to
mirror the anguish of God which cannot believe the people are bent on
self-destruction. I can't help feeling this must the case today as we
watch our world bent on self-destruction because of our greed and the
consequences of our actions." |

| "The text that most directly
connects natural disaster and moral failure is in Jeremiah 4:22-26,
in which the poet imagines a step-by-step dismantling of creation
that correlates in detail with the step-by-step creation described
in Genesis 1." |

Shaking of the Foundations," Paul Tillich, from The Shaking of the
Foundations, 1955. At Religion Online.
| "How could the prophets speak as they did? How could they paint these most
terrible pictures of doom and destruction without cynicism or despair? It was because,
beyond the sphere of destruction, they saw the sphere of salvation; because, in the doom
of the temporal, they saw the manifestation of the Eternal." |
