To make plain the importance of trusting in the Lord
the prophet placed in the Lord
first in the Hebrew sentence. Jerusalem stood condemned because in the Lord she did not trust.
No one can live without trust. We all rely on something—our friends, perhaps, or our job, our money, our skill, our intelligence, or our appearance. None of these things is worthy of our trust.1
2 She listens to no voice; she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the LORD; she does not draw near to her God.
