Jeremiah 4:22

An Invasion From The North

²¹ How long must I see the standard
And hear the sound of the trumpet?
²² “For My people are foolish,
They know Me not;
They are stupid children
And have no understanding.
They are shrewd to do evil,
But to do good they do not know.”
²³ I looked on the earth, and behold, it was formless and void;
And to the heavens, and they had no light.

Do Good

Have No Knowledge

My People

Says the Lord

What is Good

Without Sense
