6:22-30 This dialogue between Jeremiah and the Lord probably took place at the beginning of the Babylonian invasion in 605 BC. In these three poems, Jeremiah declares the Lord’s message (6:22-23), identifies with his people’s fear, and urges them to repent quickly (6:24-26). He then receives a heart-to-heart message from the Lord (6:27-30). 6:22-23 The Lord reminded the people that the impending invasion was not fictitious; the soldiers had real bows and spears (Isa 13:18). • sound like a roaring sea: The sound of tens of thousands of soldiers with cavalry and chariots must have been terrifying (Isa 5:27-30).
