Jeremiah
"I will refine them and try them"
Text: Jeremiah 9:7
DEALING WITH A TREACHEROUS NATION
The LORD could not allow Judah to remain deceptive and treacherous. He informed Jeremiah what He would do with them.
“Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts:
‘Behold, I will refine them and try them;
For how shall I deal with the daughter of My people?
Their tongue is an arrow shot out;
It speaks deceit;
One speaks peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth,
But in his heart he lies in wait.
Shall I not punish them for these things?’ says the LORD.
‘Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?'”
Jeremiah 9:7-9
