God, speaking through the prophets, frequently says how he feels about idolatry. He considers it just like the faithlessness of a wayward wife. It is moving that Jeremiah can so clearly see what will happen— the anguish of the people when they will be attacked by armies from the north.
The poetry of this psalm makes quite a contrast to our reading in Jeremiah! Our God is a God who searches. This psalm has been a great comfort to many.
To me it is interesting that in Jesus’ short time with the governor of the land, Jesus brings the focus to the concept of ‘truth’.
