During the destruction of Jerusalem, God is still with the people of Israel exiled in Babylon, as shown by the prophet Jeremiah. While delivering God's words, Jeremiah faced many difficult situations. In the time of sorrow and sorrow, Jeremiah cried out to God in the place of exile in Babylon. The use of harsh language to accuse God of wrongdoing is a determining factor in comparing the similarity of Jeremiah and Israel's predestined birth, but their faith in God in the end is completely different. First, Jeremiah's word of choice to describe his attorneys and God is similar but the image of each is different. Although Jeremiah blames God for the cause of his suffering, saying, “You have deceived me, O LORD, and I have been deceived; you have overcome me and overcome” (Jeremiah 20:7). The image of God reveals a holy warrior when he “delivers the lives of the needy from the hands of the wicked” (Jeremiah 20:13); for example when God saves Israel from Egypt. When he was challenged by the Israelites who were about to denounce him and praise God, “the LORD is with me like a mighty warrior; so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail” (Jeremiah 20:11). The people of Israel, Jeremiah's prosecutors, those who were actually causing Jeremiah's suffering by mocking him. However, they have been described in similar terms as God: “Perhaps he will be deceived; then we will prevail over him” (Jeremiah 20:10). In this context, his attorneys hoped that Jeremiah's faith in God would fall and that they could succeed him. Jeremiah, however, did not realize how similar he and his attorneys were. Jeremiah's harsh words were not only towards God but also towards his own predestined bir...... middle of paper...... 20:10). Their faith in God was the mere thought of making sacrifices until the very day they were sent into exile. In conclusion, the harsh words used to describe God were a determining factor in the similarity between Jeremiah and Israel; their predestined birth and their faith in God. The descriptions of God and Israel in Jeremiah's words are quite similar, but God was described as a warrior and Israel as his enemy. However, Jeremiah and Israel are similar in many ways, but their faith toward God is completely different. Their birth was predestined by God and led to many journeys; at this point where Jeremiah is lamenting, he still sees the holy and good in God and continues to praise him. On the contrary, Israel mocked God's chosen prophet, Jeremiah, and even threatened to denounce him; their faith in God declines, leading God to send Jerusalem into exile in Babylon.
