“At that time,” says the LORD, “they will bring the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of his princes, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves. Ezk 6:51Ki 13:22Ch 34:4-52Ki 23:162Ki 23:20Amo 2:1Ezk 37:1Jer 7:32-34 They will spread them before the sun, the moon, and all the army of the sky, which they have loved, which they have served, after which they have walked, which they have sought, and which they have worshiped. They will not be gathered or be buried. They will be like dung on the surface of the earth. 2Ki 23:5Deu 4:19Act 7:42Jer 9:22Zep 1:52Ki 21:3Ezk 8:16Jer 16:4 Death will be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them,” says the LORD of Armies. Rev 9:6Jer 29:14Jer 23:3Jer 23:8Deu 30:4Job 7:15-16Dan 9:7Deu 30:1 “Moreover you shall tell them, ‘The LORD says: Pro 24:16Mic 7:8Hos 6:1Isa 55:7Jer 3:1Amo 5:2Ezk 18:23Hos 14:1
“‘Do men fall, and not rise up again?
Does one turn away, and not return?
Why then have the people of Jerusalem fallen back by a perpetual backsliding? Jer 9:6Jer 5:3Zec 7:11Heb 12:25Hos 11:7Jhn 5:402Th 2:9-12Isa 30:10
They cling to deceit.
They refuse to return.
I listened and heard, but they didn’t say what is right. Psa 14:2Ezk 18:282Pe 3:9Isa 30:18Luk 15:17-19Jer 5:1Job 39:19-25Mal 3:16
No one repents of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done?”
Everyone turns to his course,
as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times. Isa 1:3Jer 5:4-5Isa 5:12Pro 6:6-8Sng 2:12
The turtledove, the swallow, and the crane observe the time of their coming;
but my people don’t know the LORD’s law.
“‘How do you say, “We are wise, and the LORD’s law is with us”? Isa 10:1-2Jhn 9:41Job 5:12-131Co 3:18-20Mat 15:6Rom 1:22Job 12:20Psa 147:19
But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made that a lie.
The wise men are disappointed. Psa 119:98-100Jer 6:15Job 5:121Co 1:18-29Deu 4:6Isa 19:11Jer 6:19Psa 19:7
They are dismayed and trapped.
Behold, they have rejected the LORD’s word.
What kind of wisdom is in them?
Therefore I will give their wives to others Jer 6:12-13Ezk 33:31Amo 5:11Deu 28:30-32Ezk 22:27-28Isa 28:7Isa 56:10-12Jer 23:11-17
and their fields to those who will possess them.
For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness;
from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Jer 6:14Ezk 13:10-161Ki 22:131Ki 22:6Jer 14:14-15Jer 27:9-10Jer 28:3-9Lam 2:14
“Peace, peace,” when there is no peace.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? Jer 3:3Deu 32:35Isa 3:9Jer 6:15Psa 52:7Psa 52:1Zep 3:5Ezk 22:25-31
No, they were not at all ashamed.
They couldn’t blush.
Therefore they will fall among those who fall.
In the time of their visitation they will be cast down, says the LORD.
“‘I will utterly consume them, says the LORD. Mat 21:19Jol 1:7Jer 17:8Psa 1:3-4Hag 2:17Deu 28:39-42Ezk 22:19-21Ezk 24:3-11
No grapes will be on the vine,
no figs on the fig tree,
and the leaf will fade.
The things that I have given them
will pass away from them.’”
“Why do we sit still? Jer 23:15Jer 9:15Jer 35:11Lam 3:19Psa 69:212Sa 20:6Deu 29:18Deu 32:32
Assemble yourselves!
Let’s enter into the fortified cities,
and let’s be silent there;
for the LORD our God has put us to silence,
and given us poisoned water to drink,
because we have sinned against the LORD.
We looked for peace, but no good came; Jer 14:191Th 5:3Mic 1:12Jer 4:10Jer 8:11
and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan. 1Co 10:28Jdg 18:29Jdg 5:22Jer 4:15-161Co 10:26Hab 3:10Jdg 20:1Jer 10:25
The whole land trembles at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones;
for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it,
the city and those who dwell therein.”
“For, behold, I will send serpents, Ecc 10:11Psa 58:4-5Deu 32:24Isa 14:29Num 21:6Amo 5:19Amo 9:3Rev 9:19
adders among you,
which will not be charmed;
and they will bite you,” says the LORD.
Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! Isa 22:4Jer 6:24Lam 1:16-17Lam 5:17Dan 10:16-17Hab 3:16Jer 10:19-22Job 7:13-14
My heart is faint within me.
Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: Isa 39:3Isa 13:5Rev 2:1Deu 32:16-21Isa 12:6Isa 33:22Isa 52:1Jer 14:19
“Isn’t the LORD in Zion?
Isn’t her King in her?”
“Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images,
and with foreign idols?”
“The harvest is past. Luk 13:25Mat 25:1-12Pro 10:5Luk 19:44Heb 3:7-15
The summer has ended,
and we are not saved.”
For the hurt of the daughter of my people, I am hurt. Jer 14:17Jol 2:6Nam 2:10Psa 137:3-6Sng 1:5-6Jer 4:19Jer 9:1Luk 19:41
I mourn.
Dismay has taken hold of me.
Is there no balm in Gilead? Jer 46:11Gen 37:25Jer 51:8Jer 30:12-17Luk 8:43Luk 5:31-32Gen 43:11Isa 1:5-6
Is there no physician there?
Why then isn’t the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
