The wicked may seem dominant, but their reach is limited by God. • Psalm 37:17—“the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.” • Proverbs 12:21 reminds us, “No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.” • Jeremiah himself faced rulers plotting his death (Jeremiah 26:11).
