In the context of Jeremiah, the prophet often begins his declarations with this formula to assert that the words are not his own but are directly from God. This is a common prophetic introduction found throughout the Old Testament, underscoring the role of prophets as God's mouthpieces (e.g., <a href="/isaiah/1-10.htm">Isaiah 1:10</a>, <a href="/ezekiel/2-4.htm">Ezekiel 2:4</a>).<p><b>A cry of panic is heard—</b><br>The "cry of panic" reflects the immediate emotional response to impending disaster. Historically, this can be linked to the Babylonian threat against Judah, which caused widespread fear among the people. The imagery of a "cry" is often used in the Bible to depict distress and urgency (e.g., <a href="/exodus/14-10.htm">Exodus 14:10</a>, <a href="/2_kings/19-3.htm">2 Kings 19:3</a>).<p><b>a cry of terror,</b><br>This phrase intensifies the previous one, indicating not just panic but deep-seated fear. The terror is likely due to the realization of God's judgment coming upon the nation. In the broader biblical narrative, terror often accompanies divine judgment (e.g., <a href="/deuteronomy/28-67.htm">Deuteronomy 28:67</a>, <a href="/isaiah/13-8.htm">Isaiah 13:8</a>).<p><b>not of peace.</b><br>The absence of peace highlights the contrast between the people's current state and the peace that God desires for His people. This reflects the covenantal consequences outlined in Deuteronomy, where disobedience leads to turmoil rather than peace. Theologically, it points to the ultimate peace found in Christ, who is called the "Prince of Peace" (<a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a>), contrasting the temporary peace the world offers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who speaks through the prophet Jeremiah, delivering messages of both judgment and hope.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, known for his prophecies concerning the destruction and eventual restoration of Jerusalem and Judah.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/j/judah.htm">Judah</a></b><br>The southern kingdom of Israel, facing impending judgment and exile due to their disobedience and idolatry.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/b/babylonian_exile.htm">Babylonian Exile</a></b><br>The historical context of Jeremiah's prophecies, where the people of Judah were taken captive by Babylon as a consequence of their sins.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/cry_of_panic.htm">Cry of Panic</a></b><br>Represents the emotional and spiritual state of the people of Judah as they face the consequences of their rebellion against God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_reality_of_divine_judgment.htm">The Reality of Divine Judgment</a></b><br>God's warnings through the prophets are serious and should not be taken lightly.

The prophet speaks with the sense that the words are not his own, and yet what he utters is, at first, the expression of his own horror and astonishment at the vision of woe that is opening before his eyes. He sees, as it were, the famine-stricken people, their faces gathering blackness, the strong men giving way to a woman's anguish, wailing with their hands on their loins. In horror rather than in scorn, he asks the question, What means all this? Are these men in the pangs of childbirth? (Comp. <a href="/jeremiah/4-31.htm" title="For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that mourns herself, that spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.">Jeremiah 4:31</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/6-24.htm" title="We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish has taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.">Jeremiah 6:24</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/13-21.htm" title="What will you say when he shall punish you? for you have taught them to be captains, and as chief over you: shall not sorrows take you, as a woman in travail?">Jeremiah 13:21</a>.) In <a href="/context/lamentations/2-19.htm" title="Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out your heart like water before the face of the LORD: lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.">Lamentations 2:19-22</a> we have a fuller picture of a like scene.
