Jeremiah
"Be instructed, O Jerusalem"
Text: Jeremiah 6:8
GIVING HEED TO WISE INSTRUCTION
The Lord patiently taught Judah. He repeated instructions. He gave candid words of warning. There was always an element of hope amidst impending war!
“For thus has the LORD of hosts said:
‘Cut down trees,
And build a mound against Jerusalem.
This is the city to be punished.
She is full of oppression in her midst.
As a fountain wells up with water,
So she wells up with her wickedness.
Violence and plundering are heard in her.
Before Me continually are grief and wounds.
Be instructed, O Jerusalem,
Lest My soul depart from you;
Lest I make you desolate,
A land not inhabited.'”
Jeremiah 6:6-8
