In the context of Lamentations, Jeremiah is lamenting the destruction of Jerusalem and the suffering of its people. The malice refers to the hostility and betrayal by enemies, possibly including the Babylonians who besieged the city. This echoes the sentiment found in <a href="/psalms/139.htm">Psalm 139:1-4</a>, where God's intimate knowledge of human thoughts and actions is highlighted. Theologically, it reassures believers that God is not indifferent to injustice and wrongdoing.<p><b>all their plots against me</b><br>The phrase "plots against me" suggests a deliberate and strategic effort to harm. Historically, Jeremiah faced opposition from his own people, including false prophets and leaders who rejected his warnings. This reflects the broader theme of persecution faced by God's prophets, as seen in the lives of figures like Elijah and Daniel. The plotting against Jeremiah can be seen as a type of the opposition Jesus faced from religious leaders, as described in the Gospels (e.g., <a href="/matthew/26-3.htm">Matthew 26:3-4</a>). This connection underscores the idea that God's servants often endure suffering and opposition, yet God remains aware and sovereign over these circumstances.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>- Traditionally considered the author of Lamentations, Jeremiah is known as the "weeping prophet."
