Jeremias

  • Judah’s Sin and Punishment
    Wisdom from the
    lord
    Jeremiah’s Trust in the
    lord
    Observing the Sabbath

  • |Jeremias 17:1| “The sin of Judah
        is inscribed with an iron chisel—
    engraved with a diamond point on their stony hearts
        and on the corners of their altars.


  • |Jeremias 17:2| Even their children go to worship
        at their pagan altars and Asherah poles,
    beneath every green tree
        and on every high hill.


  • |Jeremias 17:3| So I will hand over my holy mountain—
        along with all your wealth and treasures
        and your pagan shrines—
    as plunder to your enemies,
        for sin runs rampant in your land.


  • |Jeremias 17:4| The wonderful possession I have reserved for you
        will slip from your hands.
    I will tell your enemies to take you
        as captives to a foreign land.
    For my anger blazes like a fire
        that will burn forever.”


  • |Jeremias 17:5| This is what the lord says:
    “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans,
        who rely on human strength
        and turn their hearts away from the lord.


  • |Jeremias 17:6| They are like stunted shrubs in the desert,
        with no hope for the future.
    They will live in the barren wilderness,
        in an uninhabited salty land.


  • |Jeremias 17:7| “But blessed are those who trust in the lord
        and have made the lord their hope and confidence.


  • |Jeremias 17:8| They are like trees planted along a riverbank,
        with roots that reach deep into the water.
    Such trees are not bothered by the heat
        or worried by long months of drought.
    Their leaves stay green,
        and they never stop producing fruit.


  • |Jeremias 17:9| “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things,
        and desperately wicked.
        Who really knows how bad it is?


  • |Jeremias 17:10| But I, the lord, search all hearts
        and examine secret motives.
    I give all people their due rewards,
        according to what their actions deserve.”
