Jérémie shows us here the deep affliction of the people of God, symbolized by the ancients in
silence and in humility . This passage recalls the importance of
repentance and reflection faced with our tests. As it is written in
Joel 2:12 , "Come back to me with all your heart", and in
Psalm 51:17 , "A broken heart and contrite, O God, you don't despise". May this image inspire us to turn to the Lord with sincerity and faith.
