Yirmeyahu petitioned Yahuah concerning the length of the captivity.
The Word answered that mercy would be shown if righteousness could still be found among the people.
Yirmeyahu searched for an ish whose conduct could stand as testimony for the whole city.
He questioned rulers, elders, merchants, soldiers, and household heads.
Everywhere he found mixtures of confession and corruption.
He grieved, because one righteous claim could not be manufactured by desire.
