According to Jeremiah, God is upset with the people because they have been naughty, so He will let them be taken to a faraway place they don't know by people who aren't their friends. This happens because God feels very angry, like a big fire, because of what they've done.

Jeremiah 15:14: And I will make [thee] to pass with thine enemies into a land [which] thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, [which] shall burn upon you.

Contradiction with Psalm 103:10

Paradox #1

"Theological Contradiction": Some people might see a contradiction between the message in Jeremiah 15:14, which talks about punishment and suffering, and the broader message of a loving and forgiving God found elsewhere in the Bible. This could be puzzling because it seems harsh compared to the message of grace and mercy in other parts of the Bible.
