And promises deliverance Among all the sons she bore This phrase refers to the people of Jerusalem, often personified as a mother in the prophetic literature. The "sons" symbolize the inhabitants or leaders of the city. Historically, Jerusalem had many leaders and prophets, yet during times of judgment, none were able to provide true guidance. This reflects the spiritual desolation and lack of righteous leadership. The imagery of a mother and her children is common in Scripture, emphasizing the nurturing role of the city and the expected loyalty and support from its inhabitants. there is no one to guide her among all the sons she brought up there is no one to take her hand Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points The Need for Godly LeadershipThe absence of guidance in Zion highlights the importance of godly leaders who can provide spiritual direction and support. Human Limitations and Divine Dependence The failure of human leaders to guide Zion underscores the necessity of relying on God, who is the ultimate guide and comforter. God's Faithfulness Amidst Desolation Even when human support is lacking, God's promises remain steadfast, offering hope and restoration to His people. The Role of the Community in Spiritual Guidance This passage challenges believers to step up as spiritual leaders within their communities, providing guidance and support to those in need.Verse 18. - None to guide her. From the time that Johanan, the son of Kareah, and the other "captains of the forces," quitted Judaea and fled into Egypt, taking with them Jeremiah and Baruch (Jeremiah 43:5-7), there was no one left in the country with any authority or any ability to direct affairs. The city, no doubt, suffered by this state of things, becoming more ruined and more desolate than it would have been otherwise. Had Johanan and the Jews under him remained in the land, God had promised to "build them, and not pull them down;" to "plant them, and not pluck them up" (Jeremiah 42:10). Thus Jerusalem's extreme desolation was not wholly the result of the Babylonian conquest, but was partly due to the after-misconduct of the Jews left in the country. Parallel Commentaries ...
