Judgment to Continue
Then the LORD said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My heart would not go out to this people. Send them from My presence, and let them go. Ezk 14:14Ezk 14:20-21Jer 14:11Jer 11:14Psa 106:23Jer 7:15-16Exo 32:11-14Psa 99:6 If they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: Jer 43:11Zec 11:9Ezk 5:2Rev 13:10Rev 6:3-8Ezk 5:12Isa 24:18Jer 14:12
‘Those destined for death, to death;
those destined for the sword, to the sword; 1
those destined for famine, to famine;
and those destined for captivity, to captivity.’
I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the LORD: the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away, and the birds of the air and beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. Deu 28:26Lev 26:16Lev 26:22Ezk 14:21Lev 26:25Rev 6:81Ki 21:23-24Isa 18:6 I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem. Jer 24:92Ki 21:11-132Ki 21:16-172Ki 23:26-272Ki 24:3-4Deu 28:25Ezk 23:46Jer 29:18
Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Isa 51:19Nam 3:7Jer 21:7Psa 69:201Sa 17:221Sa 25:5Exo 18:7Jer 13:14
Who will mourn for you?
Who will turn aside
to ask about your welfare?
You have forsaken Me, declares the LORD. Jer 7:24Zep 1:4Hos 11:7Isa 1:4Zec 7:11Ezk 25:7Hos 13:14Jer 1:16
You have turned your back.
So I will stretch out My hand against you
and I will destroy you;
I am weary of showing compassion.
I will scatter them with a winnowing fork Jer 51:2Mat 3:12Isa 41:16Isa 9:13Jer 5:3Jer 18:21Jer 8:4-5Psa 1:4
at the gates of the land.
I will bereave and destroy My people
who have not turned from their ways.
I will make their widows more numerous Isa 3:25Jer 4:16Jer 5:6Jer 6:4-5Luk 21:35
than the sand of the sea.
I will bring a destroyer at noon
against the mothers of young men.
I will suddenly bring upon them
anguish and dismay.
The mother of seven will grow faint; 1Sa 2:5Isa 47:9Amo 8:9-10Lam 1:1Ezk 5:12Jer 15:2-3Jer 21:7Jer 44:27
she will breathe her last breath.
Her sun will set while it is still day;
she will be disgraced and humiliated.
And the rest I will put to the sword
in the presence of their enemies,”
declares the LORD.
Jeremiah’s Woe
Woe to me, my mother, Luk 6:22Act 16:20-22Act 17:6-8Ezk 3:7-9Jer 1:18-19Jer 15:20Job 3:1-26Luk 2:34
that you have borne me,
a man of strife and conflict
in all the land.
I have neither lent nor borrowed,
yet everyone curses me.
The LORD said: Pro 16:7Jer 29:11-14Psa 106:46Psa 37:3-11Ecc 8:12Jer 37:3Jer 21:2Jer 40:2-6
“Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose;
surely I will intercede with your enemy
in your time of trouble,
in your time of distress.
Can anyone smash iron— Hab 1:5-10Isa 45:9Jer 1:18-19Jer 21:4-5Jer 28:14Job 40:9
iron from the north—or bronze?
Your wealth and your treasures Jer 17:3Psa 44:12Isa 52:3Jer 20:5Isa 52:5Jer 15:8
I will give up as plunder,
without charge for all your sins
within all your borders.
Then I will enslave you to your enemies Deu 32:22Jer 16:13Deu 28:36Jer 17:4Psa 21:9Deu 28:64Amo 5:27Deu 28:25
in a land 2you do not know,
for My anger will kindle a fire
that will burn against you.”
You understand, O LORD; Jer 12:3Psa 69:7-9Luk 21:17Jer 17:16Jer 20:12Neh 13:221Pe 4:14-16Jer 20:8
remember me and attend to me.
Avenge me against my persecutors.
In Your patience, do not take me away.
Know that I endure reproach for Your honor.
Your words were found, and I ate them. Rev 10:9-10Ezk 3:1-3Psa 119:101-103Job 23:12Psa 19:10Psa 119:111Psa 119:97Psa 119:72
Your words became my joy
and my heart’s delight.
For I bear Your name,
O LORD God of Hosts.
I never sat with the band of revelers, Lam 3:28Psa 1:1Ezk 3:24-25Psa 26:4-52Co 6:17Jer 13:17Jer 6:11Psa 102:7
nor did I celebrate with them.
Because Your hand was on me, I sat alone,
for You have filled me with indignation.
Why is my pain unending, Jer 30:15Job 34:6Mic 1:9Jer 1:18-19Jer 14:19Jer 14:3Jer 20:7Jer 30:12
and my wound incurable,
refusing to be healed?
You have indeed become like a mirage to me—
water that is not there.
The LORD’s Promise
Therefore this is what the LORD says: Zec 3:7Luk 21:15Lev 10:10Ezk 44:23Ezk 22:26Jud 1:24Gal 1:10Heb 5:14
“If you return, I will restore you;
you will stand in My presence.
And if you speak words that are noble instead of worthless,
you will be My spokesman.
It is they who must turn to you,
but you must not turn to them.
Then I will make you a wall to this people, Jer 1:18-19Ezk 3:9Act 18:9-10Psa 124:1-3Psa 46:72Ti 4:16-17Isa 41:10Isa 8:9-10
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you
but will not overcome you,
for I am with you to save and deliver you,
declares the LORD.
I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked 2Co 1:10Isa 49:24-25Jer 50:34Isa 54:17Gen 48:16Isa 29:20Psa 37:40Psa 27:2
and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.”
