Abstract
Jeremiah's question highlights God's focus on practical truthfulness in people's lives. The prophet depicted a society riddled with deceit, leading to broken trust, infidelity, and denial of God's hand. In contrast, God values and approves of sincerity and genuine faith. Truthful individuals, though sometimes hidden, have a powerful influence, capable of securing God's favor and even impacting communities. Hypocrisy is futile and harmful, while truthfulness is essential for genuine connection with God and others.
