Jeremiah 7:34; 8:5 - 7,15,22; 9:7,11,16
*With sorrow, the compassionate God of Judah portrayed the rebellion of his covenant people. He longed for their return so that he could heal and comfort them, but they continued to pursue a course of destructive self-will.
*The Lord sought to refine the people of Judah, but they would not respond to his frequent prophetic urgings. He announced that he was scattering them among foreign nations.
Taken from Once a Day Morning & Evening
Jeremiah 8:5-7 KJV
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6 I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle. 7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord . |
