Jeremiah
"Why have these things come upon me?"
Text: Jeremiah 13:22
THE INCREDULITY OF THE CHILDREN OF JUDAH
The children of Judah could not accept the prophecies of Jeremiah. They could not understand the calamities that would come upon the nation!
“And if you say in your heart,
‘Why have these things come upon me?’
For the greatness of your iniquity
Your skirts have been uncovered,
Your heels made bare.
Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots?
Then may you also do good who are accustomed to do evil.
‘Therefore I will scatter them like stubble
That passes away by the wind of the wilderness.'”
Jeremiah 13:22-24
