Lawton speaks on the topic of the failure contained within the conclusion of Jeremiah's confession in chapter 20. God's word, according to Jeremiah's perspective, appeared circumspect and untrustworthy. Chapter 20 expresses Jeremiah's anger directed toward God. Jeremiah observes a world in which the wicked prosper and prevail. His anger gives way to confusion and frustration. In the midst of this crisis, Jeremiah remembers and places his trust in God. For us today, we often cry out with Jeremiah's cry of, "Why, God?" Like Jeremiah, we must be reminded of the Sovereign Lord who has called us and perseveres with us.
