Despite the fact, that the book of Jeremiah has a lot of “woe” in it, there is also a lot of “hope” in it. What we simply read here is that the Lord himself, will bring about healing. He himself will act, the one who is the Great Shepherd of the Sheep. Instead of relying on the frailties, weakness and self-interest of human beings, God will act and he will send the perfect Shepherd for the Sheep.
