The people were suffering from famine, and false prophets were promising good when evil was coming. God tells Jeremiah to stop praying for the good of the people, yet God still tells them what they can do to return to him. God tells them how to pray. The problem will be that even in the trouble, the people will not do what God has asked. They will not pray the prayer God has given them. They want to claim God's protection but not submit to God. They refuse to move. It is a sad, sad time. It is no wonder Jeremiah wept.
