"See now and know"
Text: Jeremiah 5:1
THE OFFER OF PARDON
In Genesis 19, Abraham prayed to God and asked Him to spare Sodom and Gomorrah if ten righteous people were to be found there. In this text, God offered to pardon Jerusalem if Jeremiah could find even one truly genuine righteous person!
“Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem;
See now and know;
And seek in her open places
If you can find a man,
If there is anyone who executes judgment,
Who seeks the truth,
And I will pardon her.
Though they say, ‘As the LORD lives,’
Surely they swear falsely.”
Jeremiah 5:1-2
