Jeremiah 4:22

An Invasion From The North

²¹ How long must I see the battle flag and hear the sound of rams' horns? 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 see the earth. It is without form and empty. I see the sky. Its lights are gone.

Have No Knowledge

My People
