If you become exhausted in a footrace with
men,
how will you compete with horses?
And if you fall headlong in a peaceful land,
how will you fare in the thickets of the
Jordan?
Even your brothers and your own family
continue to deal treacherously with you
as they pursue you while shouting threats.
Do not trust them
even when they speak gentle words to you.
JEREMIAH: CHAPTER 12, VERSES 5 & 6
Albert LeRoy Jones
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!
JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE & ONLY WAY TO SALVATION AND ETERNAL LIFE.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE & ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF THE ONE & ONLY TRUE GOD.
JESUS CHRIST WAS CONCEIVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD AND BORN FROM A VIRGIN WOMAN.

GOD's Response
THE LORD's Lament
I have abandoned MY house
and forsaken MY heritage.
I have given the beloved of MY heart
into the hands of her enemies.
MY own people have become to ME
like a lion in the forest;
they have threatened ME incessantly,
and therefore, I despise them.
Why has MY land become a lair for hyenas,
with birds of prey hovering on every side?
Go forth and gather all the wild beasts
so that they may assemble for the feast.
MY shepherds have ravaged MY vineyard
and trampled MY heritage underfoot.
They have made the plot of land that is MY
delight
into a desolate wilderness.
They have made it into a wasteland,
the sight of which causes ME to mourn.
The entire land has become desolate,
and no one shows the slightest bit of
concern.
Upon all the barren heights of the desert
those who wreak destruction have arrived.
For THE LORD will wield a devouring sword
from one end of the land to the other;
no living thing will remain unscathed.
Men have sown wheat only to reap thorns;
they have worked to the point of exhaustion
but have profited nothing.
Their harvests are a source of disappointment
because of the fierce anger of THE LORD.
JEREMIAH: CHAPTER 12, VERSES 7 - 13
Judah's Evil Neighbors.
Thus says THE LORD, "As for all MY evil neighbors who have seized the inheritance I gave to MY people Israel, I will uproot them from their land, and from among them I will uproot the house of Judah. But after I uproot them, I will again take pity on them and bring them back, each one to his own heritage and his own land.
"Then, if they carefully adhere to the ways of MY people and swear by MY name, saying, 'As THE LORD lives,' just as previously they taught MY people to swear by Baal, then they will be reestablished among MY people. But if any nation refuses to listen, I will uproot that nation and destroy it completely," says THE LORD.
JEREMIAH: CHAPTER 12, VERSES 14 - 17

Warnings to Judah.
THE LORD said to me: Go forth and purchase for yourself a loincloth. Wrap it around your loins, but do not dip it in water. I purchased the loincloth as instructed by THE LORD and wrapped it around my loins.
Then THE LORD spoke to me a second time, saying: Take the loincloth that you purchased and are wearing, and go now to the Euphrates and conceal it there in a cleft of the rock. So I went to the Euphrates and hid it as THE LORD had commanded me.
After a long period of time, THE LORD said to me: Go now to the Euphrates and retrieve the loincloth that I instructed you to hide there. And so I returned to the Euphrates and searched for the cleft, and I then retrieved the loincloth from the place where I had hidden it. But the loincloth had now rotted and was good for nothing.
Then the word of THE LORD came to me: Thus says THE LORD: In the same way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the enormous pride of Jerusalem. Because these wicked people refuse to listen to MY words and stubbornly follow their own inclinations as they run after other gods to serve them and worship them, they will become like this loincloth, which is good for nothing. For just as a loincloth clings to a man's loins, so I made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to me, says THE LORD, in the hope that they would become MY people, MY praise, and MY pride. But they refused to listen.
JERMIAH: CHAPTER 13, VERSES 1 - 11
The Shattered Wineflask.
Therefore, proclaim this message to them: Thus says THE LORD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL: Every wineflask should be filled with wine. If they reply, "Do you think we do not know that every wineflask is meant to be filled with wine?" say to them in reply: Thus says THE LORD: I will fill all the inhabitants of this land with wine until they are drunk--the kings who sit on David's throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Then I will smash them one against the other, parents and children together, says THE LORD. I will show no pity, I will not spare or show compassion, when I destroy them.
JEREMIAH: CHAPTER 13, VERSES 12 - 14
A Vision of Exile
Listen carefully and suppress your pride,
for it is THE LORD who speaks.
Give glory to THE LORD, your GOD,
before the darkness descends,
before your feet stumble
on the mountains at twilight,
before the light you hope for
will gradually turn to gloom
and then into thick darkness.
If your pride does not allow you to listen,
I will weep in secret for you.
My eyes will be filled with tears
because THE LORD's flock is being led
into captivity.
Say to the king and the queen mother,
"Descend from your thrones,
since your glorious crowns
have fallen from your heads."
The cities in the Negeb are besieged,
and no one will be able to offer them relief.
All Judah has been taken into exile;
every inhabitant has been led away.
JEREMIAH: CHAPTER 13, VERSES 15 - 19
Jerusalem's Shame
Lift up your eyes and behold
those who are coming from the north.
Where is the flock that was entrusted to you,
the sheep that were your pride?
What will you say when they appoint as your
rulers
those whom you chose as your allies?
Will not pangs seize you
like those of a woman in labor?
And if you should ask yourself,
"Why has all this happened to me?"
it is because of your many grievous sins
that your skirts have been stripped away
and you have been violated.
Can an Ethiopian change the color of his
skin
or a leopard change its spots?
Neither are you able to do good
when you are schooled in evil.
I will scatter you like chaff
that is driven by the desert wind.
This is your lot, says THE LORD,
the portion I have measured out to you,
because you have forgotten ME
and placed your trust in false gods.
I MYSELF will tear off your skirts
so that your shame will be seen.
Your adulteries, your cries of lustful pleasure,
your shameless acts of prostitution:
all these abominable deeds of yours
I have observed on the hills of the
countryside.
Woe to you, Jerusalem!
How long will it be
before you are made clean?
JEREMIAH: CHAPTER 13, VERSES 20 - 27
The Great Drought.
This is the word of THE LORD that was given to Jeremiah during the drought:
Judah is in mourning,
and her towns languish.
Her people lie on the ground in mourning;
a cry of anguish goes up from Jerusalem.
The nobles send their servants for water,
but when they come to the cisterns
they find no water,
and they return with their jars empty.
Ashamed and in despair
they cover their heads.
Because the ground is cracked
due to a total lack of rainfall,
the farmers are desperate,
and they too cover their heads.
Even the doe in the open country
abandons her newborn fawn
because there is no grass.
Wild donkeys stand on the bare heights
and pant for air like jackals,
while their eyes grow dim
because of a lack of pasture.
Even though our sins bear witness against us,
take action, O LORD, for YOUR name's
sake;
forgive us for our many acts of infidelity,
our countless sins against YOU.
O LORD, YOU are the hope of Israel
and its savior in time of need.
Why are YOU like a stranger in the land,
like a traveler who only stays for a single
night?
Why should YOU be taken unawares,
like a warrior who is powerless to help us?
YOU are in our midst, O LORD,
and we bear YOUR name.
Do not forsake us!
Thus says THE LORD about this people:
Truly they have loved to stray
and have not restrained their feet.
Therefore, THE LORD no longer takes
pleasure in them;
HE will now remember their iniquity
and punish their sins.
Then THE LORD said to me: Do not intercede for this people or pray for their welfare. If they fast, I will not listen to their cry. If they offer holocausts or grain offerings, I will not accept them. Rather, I will destroy them by the sword, famine, and plague.
In response I said, "Ah, LORD GOD, the prophets continue to say to them that they will suffer neither sword nor famine, since YOU will give them lasting peace in this place."
Then THE LORD said to me: The prophets are prophesying lies in MY name. I did not send them or give them any orders or speak to them. They are prophesying to you lying visions, worthless divinations, and delusions of their own minds.
Therefore, thus says THE LORD about the prophets who are prophesying in HIS name: Although I did not send them, they continue to assert that neither sword nor famine will afflict this land. By sword and famine those same prophets will perish. Furthermore, the people to whom they are prophesying will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and the sword. No one will bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour down on them their own wickedness.
This is the message you are to deliver to them:
Let MY eyes stream with tears
day and night without ceasing,
for MY virgin daughter--MY people--
has suffered a crushing blow
and is grievously injured.
If I go out into the open fields,
I see those slain by the sword.
If I go into the city,
I behold those who have perished through
famine.
Even prophets and priests roam in confusion
in a land they do not know.
Have YOU rejected Judah completely?
Has Zion become loathsome to YOU?
Why have YOU afflicted us
to a point where we cannot be healed?
We hope for peace, but to no avail,
for a time of healing, only to encounter
terror.
O LORD, we acknowledge our wickedness
and the guilt of our fathers;
we have indeed sinned against YOU.
For YOUR name's sake do not reject us;
do not dishonor YOUR glorious throne.
Remember YOUR covenant with us
and do not break it.
Can any worthless idols of the nations bring
rain?
Do the heavens send down rain showers on
their own?
No, it is YOU who accomplish all this,
O LORD, our GOD,
and therefore, we place our hope in YOU.
THE LORD then said to me: Even if Moses and Samuel stood before ME, MY heart would not have pity on this people. Send them away from MY presence! Let them go! And if they should ask you where they should go, say to them: Thus says THE LORD:
Those destined for the plague, to plague;
those destined for the sword, to the sword;
those destined for famine, to famine;
those destined for captivity, to captivity.
Furthermore, four kinds of destroyers I will send against them, says THE LORD: the sword to kill, dogs to drag away, birds of the sky and beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. I will make them an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what King Manasseh of Judah, the son of Hezekiah, did in Jerusalem.
Who will there be to pity you, O Jerusalem?
Who will mourn for you?
Who will have the slightest concern
to inquire how you are?
You have rejected ME, says THE LORD,
and you have turned your back on ME.
Therefore, I have stretched out MY hand over
you
in order to destroy you;
I am weary of having compassion for you.
I have winnowed them with a winnowing fork
at every city gate in the land.
I have brought bereavement and destruction
on MY people
because they would not abandon their evil
ways.
I have made their widows more numerous
than the sands of the sea.
I brought a destroyer at noonday
against the mothers of young men.
Without warning, I afflicted them
with anguish and terror.
The mother of seven sons will grow faint and
gasp for breath.
Her sun went down while it was still day;
she has been shamed and disgraced.
As for the rest, I will give them to the sword
to perish at the hands of assassins, says
THE LORD.
JEREMIAH: CHAPTER 14 & CHAPTER 15, VERSES 1 - 9
Jeremiah's Call Renewed
"O my mother, how I wish
that you had never given birth to me,
a man of strife and contention for the entire
land.
I have never borrowed from anyone,
nor have I lent to anyone,
yet everyone curses me.
Have I not truly done my best
to serve YOU, O LORD?
Have I not interceded with YOU
in times of disaster and times of distress?
"Can iron and bronze
break iron from the north?
Your wealth and your treasures
I will hand over as plunder, without
repayment,
because of all your sins
throughout your territory.
I will force you to serve your enemies
in a land you do not know,
for MY anger will kindle a fire
that will blaze against you.
O LORD, YOU know me well.
Remember me and visit me
and avenge me on my persecutors.
Continue to be patient with me
and do not cast me aside;
remember the insults I suffer for YOUR
sake.
"When I discovered YOUR words, I devoured
them;
they became a source of joy to me
and the delight of my heart,
because I bore YOUR name,
O LORD, GOD OF HOSTS.
"I have never associated with revelers
or rejoiced in their company;
I sat alone because I felt YOUR hand on me,
and YOU had filled me with indignation.
Why then is my suffering continuous
and my wound incurable, refusing to be
healed?
YOU have indeed become for me a
treacherous brook
whose waters cannot be relied upon."
In reply THE LORD said to me:
If you repent, I will restore you,
and you will stand in MY presence.
If you utter precious words
and not what is worthless,
you will be MY spokesman.
This people may turn to you,
but you must not turn to them.
I will make you appear in the eyes of this
people
to be a fortified wall of bronze.
They will fight against you
but they will not prevail,
for I am with you
to save and deliver you, says THE LORD.
I will rescue you from the clutches of the
wicked
and redeem you from the grasp of the
violent.

Warning to Jeremiah.
The following word of THE LORD then came to me: You shall not take to yourself a wife or have sons and daughters in this place. For thus says THE LORD concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place, and about the mothers who give birth to them and the fathers who beget them in this land: They shall perish from deadly diseases. Unlamented and unburied, they will be like dung spread over the ground. They will perish by sword and by famine, and their corpses will serve as food for the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth.
THE LORD then continued: Do not enter a house of mourning; do not go there to lament or offer words of comfort. For I have withdrawn MY blessing from this people, says THE LORD, as well as MY love and MY mercy. Both the powerful and the lowly will perish in this land, without burial or lamentation. There will be no gashing or shaving of the head for them. No one is to break bread with the mourners to comfort them in their bereavement or offer them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or mother.
Nor are you to enter a house where people are feasting and sit with them to eat and drink. For thus says THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF ISRAEL: In your lifetime, and before your very eyes, I will banish from this place the cries of joy and gladness, the voices of bridegroom and bride.
When you relate all these words to the people, they will ask you, "Why has THE LORD decreed that all these evils are to befall us? What evil have we done? What sin have we committed against THE LORD, our GOD?" Then you will give them this answer: This will occur because your ancestores abandoned ME, says THE LORD, and followed other gods and served and worshiped them. They forsook ME and did not keep MY law. And you have behaved even more wickedly than your ancestors. For each one of you stubbornly follows his own wicked inclinations and refuses to listen to ME. Therefore, I will cast you out of this land into a land that is completely unknown to you or your ancestors. There you can serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no further favor.
