A Prophet's Sweet Relief
Commentators widely agree that this verse is a personal note from Jeremiah. Known as the 'weeping prophet' for his many messages of judgment, he received this vision of future restoration in a dream. Upon waking, the comfort and joy of God's promises were so profound that his sleep was 'sweet.' This shows that God cares for His messengers, offering them personal encouragement and refreshment amidst difficult ministries.
