Jeremiah
"What will you say when He punishes you?"
Text: Jeremiah 13:21
THE GRIM REALITY OF AN INVASION FROM THE NORTH
Much as the children of Judah may try and deny the reality of an invasion from the Babylonians, the facts must be faced! Jeremiah had to describe the painful reality of being conquered!
“Lift up your eyes and see
Those who come from the north.
Where is the flock that was given to you,
Your beautiful sheep?
What will you say when He punishes you?
For you have taught them
To be chieftains, to be head over you.
Will not pangs seize you,
Like a woman in labour?”
Jeremiah 13:20-21
