The Lonely Path of Obedience
Commentators explain that Jeremiah's prophetic calling required a life of separation. He intentionally avoided even innocent social gatherings because 'God's hand' was upon him. This divine commission set him apart, filling him with a gravity and purpose that isolated him from the everyday life of his peers. His loneliness was a direct result of his obedience to God.
