Jeremiah 4-6

It took me about 25 minutes in three sittings to read this passage. The terror God had promised Israel after they came out of Egypt is to be visited on the children of those wandering slaves. All because they rejected God's Law, emptied their sacrifices of meaning, and changed God's name from a source of power to a stentence of meaningless words. After generations of rejection God gives up on the people, but not his promises. He will turn away from the generation that has forgotten him and wait for their children to come back to them. Then he will move forward with his plan.
