The Turnaround of Faith
Commentators observe a dramatic shift in Jeremiah's tone. After intense lament, he pivots to bold confidence. This change isn't based on new circumstances but on a renewed focus of faith. He remembers God's presence and promises. Scholars see this as a model for believers: in moments of despair, faith can be a 'rock of refuge' that changes our perspective even when our situation doesn't.
