Guiding Questions: Jeremiah 12

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

What is the question which the prophet asks of a “just God” and how does it echo the text of Job?
The destruction of nature and its yield is attributed to whom in Jeremiah 12:4?
Who is described in Jeremiah 12:7?
In Jeremiah 12:10, who are the shepherds who have “destroyed my vineyard”?
And, in Jeremiah 12:14, what is the response of the Divinity as to the evildoers who seem to succeed?
But, is there yet some hope (Jeremiah 12:15)?
And, is that hope to be realized under any circumstances or only if there is certain action (Jeremiah 12:16-17)?
