Study Lenses

The verse centers on "behold", "days", "come", "saith", "jehovah", "perform", "good", and "word". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "behold" and "days", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 13's "In the cities of the hill-country in..." into verse 15's "In those days and at that time...", so "behold" and "days" belong inside that flow. In Jeremiah context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "behold" and "days" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
