Preaching all this talk of judgment was definetly not easy for Jeremiah. God commanded him to speak words to the people about how they are going to be destroyed. This shows that the jobs that God gives aren't always going to be easy. But as I saw in the previous chapters, God will give you strength, and if he gives you a job, you need to do it.
