In the context of Jeremiah, the people of Judah are being warned of the consequences of their rebellion against God. The "cry" signifies the anguish and desperation that will arise when God's judgment is executed. This echoes the cries of the Egyptians during the Passover (<a href="/exodus/12-30.htm">Exodus 12:30</a>), symbolizing divine retribution.when You suddenly bring raiders against them The suddenness of the raiders' arrival emphasizes the unexpected nature of God's judgment. Historically, this can be linked to the Babylonian invasions, which were instruments of God's wrath against Judah. The Babylonians, led by Nebuchadnezzar, were known for their swift and devastating military campaigns. This also serves as a reminder of the suddenness of the Day of the Lord, a theme found throughout prophetic literature (<a href="/1_thessalonians/5-2.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:2-3</a>).for they have dug a pit to capture me This imagery of a pit is often used in the Psalms to describe the schemes of the wicked against the righteous (<a href="/psalms/7-15.htm">Psalm 7:15</a>, <a href="/psalms/57-6.htm">Psalm 57:6</a>). Jeremiah, as a prophet, faced opposition and plots from his own people. The pit symbolizes the treacherous plans devised by those who reject God's message. It also foreshadows the betrayal and suffering of Jesus Christ, who was plotted against by the religious leaders of His time (<a href="/matthew/26-3.htm">Matthew 26:3-4</a>).and have hidden snares for my feet Snares are traps set to ensnare the unsuspecting, illustrating the deceitful and malicious intentions of Jeremiah's adversaries. This reflects the broader biblical theme of the righteous being targeted by the wicked (<a href="/psalms/140-5.htm">Psalm 140:5</a>). In a typological sense, it points to Christ, who navigated the snares of the Pharisees and Sadducees, ultimately overcoming their schemes through His death and resurrection (<a href="/john/11-53.htm">John 11:53</a>, <a href="/luke/20-20.htm">Luke 20:20</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a> The prophet who is speaking in this verse, known for his messages of warning and repentance to the people of Judah. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_people_of_judah.htm">The People of Judah</a> The audience of Jeremiah's prophecies, who often resisted his messages and plotted against him. 3. <a href="/topical/r/raiders.htm">Raiders</a> Invaders or attackers that Jeremiah calls upon as a form of divine judgment against those who plot against him. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_pit_and_snares.htm">The Pit and Snares</a> Metaphors for the traps and schemes devised by Jeremiah's enemies to harm him. 5. <a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a> The ultimate judge and protector, whom Jeremiah calls upon to execute justice.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_divine_justice.htm">Trust in Divine Justice</a> Jeremiah's plea for God to bring justice reminds us to trust in God's timing and righteousness rather than seeking personal revenge. <a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_sin.htm">The Consequences of Sin</a> The imagery of pits and snares serves as a warning about the consequences of plotting evil against others, emphasizing the biblical principle of reaping what one sows. <a href="/topical/p/perseverance_in_adversity.htm">Perseverance in Adversity</a> Despite facing opposition, Jeremiah remains steadfast in his mission, encouraging believers to persevere in their faith and calling, even when faced with hostility. <a href="/topical/p/prayer_as_a_response_to_injustice.htm">Prayer as a Response to Injustice</a> Jeremiah's response to his enemies is to pray and seek God's intervention, teaching us to turn to prayer when confronted with injustice or persecution.<a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/18.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(22) Let a cry be heard from their houses.--i.e., let their city be taken by the enemy and the people suffer all the outrage and cruelty which their heathen invaders can inflict.
