Jeremiah 2:29

Israel Deserves To Be Punished

²⁸ “But where are your gods
Which you made for yourself?
Let them arise, if they can save you
In the time of your trouble;
For according to the number of your cities
Are your gods, O Judah.
²⁹ “Why do you contend with Me?
You have all transgressed against Me,” declares the Lord.
³⁰ “In vain I have struck your sons;
They accepted no chastening.
Your sword has devoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.

Contend with Me

Says the Lord

Sinned Against Me

Declares The Lord

Jehovah

If there is one who does justice, who seeks truth,
Then I will pardon her.

Everyone is greedy for gain,
And from the prophet even to the priest
Everyone deals falsely.

You are a swift young camel entangling her ways,

Yet you said, ‘I am innocent;
Surely His anger is turned away from me.’
Behold, I will enter into judgment with you
Because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’

Jeremiah 3:2

“Lift up your eyes to the bare heights and see;
Where have you not been violated?
By the roads you have sat for them
Like an Arab in the desert,
And you have polluted a land
With your harlotry and with your wickedness.

Jeremiah 9:2-6

Oh that I had in the desert
A wayfarers’ lodging place;
That I might leave my people
And go from them!
For all of them are adulterers,
An assembly of treacherous men.
