In the context of ancient Israel, meadows would be places of pasture and rest for flocks, symbolizing prosperity and divine favor. The peaceful meadows can be seen as a metaphor for the land of Judah, which was once under God's protection and blessing. This imagery is reminiscent of <a href="/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23</a>, where the Lord is depicted as a shepherd leading His flock to green pastures.<p><b>have been silenced</b><br>The silencing of the meadows indicates a cessation of peace and prosperity. This reflects the judgment that has come upon the land due to the people's disobedience and idolatry. The silence can also symbolize the absence of God's presence and favor, as the land is no longer vibrant and alive. This is a fulfillment of the warnings given by the prophets, including Jeremiah, about the consequences of turning away from God.<p><b>because of the LORD’s burning anger</b><br>The phrase underscores the reason for the judgment: the righteous anger of the Lord. God's anger is not arbitrary but is a response to the covenant unfaithfulness of His people. This reflects the holiness and justice of God, who cannot tolerate sin. The burning anger signifies the intensity of God's response to the persistent rebellion and idolatry of Judah. This is consistent with the broader biblical narrative where God's anger leads to corrective discipline, as seen in the exile of Israel and Judah. The concept of divine anger is also seen in the New Testament, where God's wrath is ultimately satisfied through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, offering redemption and peace to those who believe.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A prophet called by God to deliver messages of warning and hope to the people of Judah and Jerusalem.
