Jeremiah 5:25

An Invasion From The North

²⁴ ‘They do not say in their heart,
“Let us now fear the Lord our God,
Who gives rain in its season,
Both the autumn rain and the spring rain,
Who keeps for us
The appointed weeks of the harvest.”
²⁵ ‘Your iniquities have turned these away,
And your sins have withheld good from you.
²⁶ ‘For wicked men are found among My people,
They watch like fowlers lying in wait;
They set a trap,
They catch men.
