What Does Jeremiah 32:19 Mean?
Jeremiah affirms that God's wisdom (counsel) and power (works) are supreme. God's omniscience—His eyes are open upon all human ways—ensures that judgment is not blind or arbitrary but perfectly informed. Each person receives the fruit of his own deeds. This describes moral accountability built into creation itself.
Even in exile, Jeremiah finds comfort in knowing that God's justice is personal and precise. No sin goes unnoticed; no obedience goes unrewarded. This precision gives hope that restoration will not abandon moral order but will restore a people who have learned to walk in God's way.
