1 God spoke to Jeremiah. 2 God said, “Jeremiah, tell the people in Judah and in Jerusalem, ‘Listen to My promise.’” ️️ 3 Say, “God says, ‘Bad will come to the one who will not listen to My promise.’” ⚠️ 4 God said, “I took your dads out of Egypt, a hard, hot place. Listen to Me. Do what I say. Then you will be My people, and I will be your God.” ️✅ 5 “I promised you a good land with milk and honey. I keep My word.” I, Jeremiah, said, “Yes, God.” 6 God said, “Call out these words in all Judah and in Jerusalem: ‘Listen to My promise and do it.’” ️✅ 7 God said, “I told your dads again and again since Egypt: ‘Obey Me.’” 8 But they did not listen. Each one did bad in his own way. So the bad things came. ➡️⚠️ 9 God said, “There is a secret bad plan in Judah and in Jerusalem.” ️⚠️ 10 They went back to old bad ways. They ran after fake gods. They broke My promise. ❌ 11 So God says, “I will bring trouble. They cannot run away. They will cry to Me, but I will not listen.” ⚠️♂️ 12 Then they will cry to their fake gods they gave gifts to, but those fake gods cannot save them. ❌ 13 You have many fake gods, as many as your towns. You made many altars for Baal. ️➕ 14 So, Jeremiah, do not pray for these people. Do not cry to Me for them. I will not hear in their trouble. ❌ 15 My people come to My house, but they did many bad things. Gifts will not stop the bad day. Do not be glad in bad. ❌ 16 God once called you a green olive tree with good fruit. But a big storm and fire will burn it. The branches will break. ➡️️ 17 God who planted you will bring trouble on you, because you did bad and burned gifts to Baal. ➡️⚠️ 18 God told me, Jeremiah, and I knew. He showed me what they did. ️➡️ 19 I, Jeremiah, was like a gentle lamb. I did not know they had a plan to hurt me. They said, “Let us stop him. Make him gone.” ️ 20 I, Jeremiah, said, “God of all, You judge right. You see my heart and mind. Please make it fair. I give this to You.” ⚖️❤️ 21 God said about the men in Anathoth, “They want to kill you, Jeremiah. They say, ‘Do not speak God’s words, or we will kill you.’” ♂️️️❌️ 22 So God says, “I will punish them. The young men will die by the sword. The sons and girls will have no food.” ⚠️⚔️❌ 23 No one will be left. I will bring trouble on the men in Anathoth when the time comes. ⏰⚠️
