In this section of Jeremiah we see two object lessons and one vision from the Lord. The first is the Potter and the Clay, and it shows us that we are in the hands of the Lord. The second is a Broken Jar which can not be repaired, and this is what will happen to Jerusalem and its people. The vision is of two baskets of figs. One is full of very good figs and the other is full of very bad figs, so bad that they can not be eaten. This shows the remnant that will come back will have a heart for the Lord, but the bad figs are the people who never repented and turned to the Lord. We also see some very personal prayers of Jeremiah because he is persecuted for his prophecy of judgment.
