The "jeremiads" aimed at lamenting the state of degeneration of the people, the exhortation to action to secure redemption, and the alert to permanent zeal for the omnipresent evil.

The "jeremiads" acted as an instrument of social control, channeling thoughts and energies for the promotion of convention, the perfection of community life, and the salvation of souls.
