Jeremiah
"They have sown wheat but reaped thorns"
Text: Jeremiah 12:13
THE WICKEDNESS OF THE PEOPLE EXPOSED
The children of Judah had practised deceit for the longest time. They had offered worship to God but at the same time, they had also offered worship to idols. Their hearts were full of guile and treachery. Their wickedness would be exposed.
“The plunderers have come
On all the desolate heights in the wilderness,
For the sword of the LORD shall devour
From one end of the land to the other end of the land;
No flesh shall have peace.
They have sown wheat but reaped thorns;
They have put themselves to pain but do not profit.
But be ashamed of your harvest
Because of the fierce anger of the LORD.”
Jeremiah 12:12-13
