Jeremiah 7-9

I spent about 15 minutes reading this passage. There are many terrible words in this passage but the saddest, I think, is 7:16, "So you, Jeremiah, don't pray for this people!" That would be aweful to be commanded not to pray on behalf of a people.
The greatest verse in this section is 9:23;"let the boaster boast about this: that he understands and knows me . . ." That is the goal of Christianity; that we know and understand God; our Father, Brother, Groom, and Comforter.
