Jeremiah: The Prophet: Over Jerusalem
Source: Nav
Jeremiah 4:14–18
Wash the evil from your heart, O Jerusalem, so that you may be saved. How long will you harbor wicked thoughts within you? / For a voice resounds from Dan, proclaiming disaster from the hills of Ephraim. / Warn the nations now! Proclaim to Jerusalem: “A besieging army comes from a distant land; they raise their voices against the cities of Judah.
Jeremiah 8:18–21
My sorrow is beyond healing; my heart is faint within me. / Listen to the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far away: “Is the LORD no longer in Zion? Is her King no longer there?” “Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images, with their worthless foreign idols?” / “The harvest has passed, the summer has ended, but we have not been saved.”
Jeremiah 9:1
Oh, that my head were a spring of water, and my eyes a fountain of tears! I would weep day and night over the slain daughter of my people.
Jeremiah 10:19–22
Woe to me because of my brokenness; my wound is grievous! But I said, “This is truly my sickness, and I must bear it.” / My tent is destroyed, and all its ropes are snapped. My sons have departed from me and are no more. I have no one left to pitch my tent or set up my curtains. / For the shepherds have become senseless; they do not seek the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered.
