Our week's reading is still with the weeping prophet, and all the sad things in Judah which caused him to weep,—the false prophets, the utter repudiation of the law of God and the principles of righteousness, and the persecutions of the prophet himself,—have been left to us to show the awful enormity of sin and its sure consequences. From the 20th chapter on, the order of the chapters is more or less broken up. That is, the chapters are not in chronological order. It has been thought by good scholars that when the manuscript was placed together in book form by Ezra, or some others, that the chapters were not properly arranged, or by some accident were disarranged. It is not difficult to place them in chronological order, because the data is quite clearly given us by Jeremiah himself. We suggest the following from Boothroyd, if one desires to read the chapters in that way. After chapter 20 read as follows: 22, 23, 25, 26, 35, 36, 45, 24, 29, 30, 31; 27, 28, 21, 34, 37, 32, 33, 38, etc. The schedule itself gives this order. It will be a little more trouble for us to keep our place, perhaps, in the prophecy, but we will have the chronological story of Jeremiah's experiences in Judah.
