1 Jeremiah says: The people did bad. It is cut deep on their hearts and on their stone places for bad statues. ✍️ 2 The kids think of the bad statue gods on the hills and under green trees. 3 God says: Your land and your rich things will go to others, because you went to high bad places. ️➡️ 4 God says: You will lose your land. You will work for enemies in a far land. My anger is like fire. ️⛓️ 5 God says: Bad comes when a man trusts in people and not in God. ♂️❌ 6 That man is like a dry bush in a hot land. He will not see good. He lives where it is dry and salty. ☀️ 7 God says: Good comes when a man trusts God. 8 He is like a tree by water. Roots go deep. It is not scared of heat. Leaves stay green. It makes fruit, even in dry time. 9 The heart can trick us. It is very sick. Who can know it? ❤️❓ 10 God says: I see your heart. I see your thoughts. I give each one pay for what he does. ❤️⚖️ 11 A bird sits on eggs it did not lay. So a man who gets money in a bad way will lose it and look silly in the end. 12 God’s big king seat is high and bright. God’s house is our safe place. ✨⛪ 13 God, You are Israel’s hope. All who leave You will feel very bad. Their names are like words in sand. They left You, who is like fresh water that gives life. ✍️️ 14 Jeremiah says: God, make me well, and I will be well. Save me, and I will be safe. I sing to You. ️ 15 The people say to me, “Where is God’s word? Let it come!” ⏳ 16 Jeremiah says to God: I did not run away. I told Your words. I did not wish for a bad day. ♂️❌️✅ 17 Jeremiah says: God, do not scare me. You are my safe place in bad time. ️ 18 Jeremiah says: Let the ones who hurt me feel very bad. Do not let me feel very bad. Stop them. Keep me safe. ✋️ 19 God says to Jeremiah: Go stand at the city gate where kings go in and out. Stand at all the gates. 20 Say: “Hear God’s word, kings, people, and all who use these gates!” ️ 21 God says: Be careful. Do not carry big loads on the rest day. Do not bring them in the city gates. ❌️ 22 Do not carry things from your homes or do work on the rest day. Keep it special, like I told your dads long ago. ❌✨ 23 But they did not listen. They did not want to do what God said. They would not hear or learn. ❌ 24 God says: If you listen to Me and do not carry loads on the rest day, and keep it special, and do no work, ✨ 25 Then kings and leaders will come in these gates. They will ride on horses and carts. The city will have people always. ️ 26 People will come from many places. They will bring gifts to God’s house. They will say thanks to God. ️⛪ 27 But if you do not listen and keep the rest day special, and you carry loads, then I will start a fire at the gates. It will burn the big houses. No one can stop it.
