As the army gathers outside, Jeremiah and his scribe Baruch face the loss of their city. According to the text, divine warnings and the preservation of sacred Temple vessels place that loss within a larger story of protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe narrative follows Jeremiah among the captives and Baruch among the ruins. It also turns to Abimelech, sent away to gather figs, whose extraordinary sleep carries him through sixty-six years. An eagle bearing a letter connects those separated by exile.
