1 God says: Run and look in Jerusalem. ️ Look in the streets. If you find one good person who is fair and true, I will let the city live. 2 The people say, “God lives.” But they lie. ️❌ 3 Jeremiah says: God, You see truth. ️ You hit them, but they did not care. You broke them, but they would not learn. They were hard like a rock. They would not come back to You. 4 Jeremiah says: Maybe they are poor and do not know. They do not know God’s way or God’s rules. 5 I will go talk to the big leaders. ⚖️ They know the way. But they broke the good rules and ran from God. 6 So wild cats and wolves will come. They will hurt them. Why? They do many bad things. 7 God says: How can I say, “It is okay”? Your kids left Me. They say yes to fake gods. When I gave food, they ran to do bad love with the wrong people. 8 The men were like wild horses. They wanted other men’s wives. This is bad. 9 God says: Should I not stop this? Should I not let bad come on this land? ⚖️ 10 God says: Enemies will come in the fields. They will break many things. But I will not end all of you. 11 Israel and Judah were not true to Me. 12 They say lies about God. They say, “It is not God. No bad will come. No war. No no food.” ️ 13 They say, “The men who speak for God are just wind. God did not speak to them.” So bad will come to them. 14 God says: My words in you will be like fire. The people are like wood. My word will burn them. 15 God says: I will bring a far land’s army to you. ⚔️ It is strong and old. 16 Their bows and bags of arrows are full. They are strong men. 17 They will take your food and bread. They will take your cows and sheep. They will break your strong walls. 18 But I will not end all of you. I will keep some safe. ️ 19 When people ask, “Why?” say, “You left God. You prayed to fake gods. So you will serve people in a far land.” 20 Tell this to Jacob’s people and to Judah. 21 Listen, people who do not think. You have eyes but you do not see. You have ears but you do not hear. 22 Do you not fear Me? I made sand stop the big sea. ️ The waves move, but they stop. 23 But you are hard in heart. You turn away and run from Me. 24 You do not say, “Let us fear God. He gives rain in fall and spring. ️ He keeps the food time safe.” 25 Your sin stops good gifts. 26 Bad men hide and set traps. They trick people. 27 Their homes are like a cage full of birds. They are full of lies. They got big and rich from bad. 28 They eat a lot and look fine. They do much bad. They do not help kids with no dad. They do not help the poor. 29 God says: Should I not stop this? Should I not bring bad on this land? ⚖️ 30 A very bad thing is in the land. ❗ 31 The men who say they speak for God lie. The priests rule their own way. The people like it. But what will you do at the end? ⏳
