Ezekiel 7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity. […]

Ezekiel 6:9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have […]

Ezekiel 3:7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted. God sends His man to preach and makes it clear that the people are not going to listen. They will not listen to Ezekiel because they […]

Ezekiel 1:12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went. I certainly don’t understand much about these wheels and creatures but this I know and like. Where the spirit went they went. They went straight forward to where the Spirit was […]

Lamentations 5:7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; And we have borne their iniquities. God doesn’t punish a child for his parents sin but they do suffer because of their parent’s sin. When a parent does wrong and suffers then the children that are so closely associated with him will suffer also. The drunkard’s […]

Lamentations 2:14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: And they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; But have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment. The men of God that should have told the truth are lying. They claim that God is telling them things […]

Lamentations 1:8 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: All that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: Yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward. Jerusalem knows what God wants and chooses not to obey. She has now been removed, disciplined, and has suffered the consequences of her sin and rebellion. All […]

Jeremiah 52:2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. In our society today everything is PC, politically correct. We are worried about what the society at large will think about what we say or do. God’s people should worry about what He […]

Jeremiah 50:6 My people hath been lost sheep: Their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: They have gone from mountain to hill, They have forgotten their resting place. Jeremiah often talks about the shepherds, pastors, of God’s people. Much of the blame for what is happening […]

Jeremiah 49:25 How is the city of praise not left, The city of my joy! Now Damascus is destroyed. The city that had been so great couldn’t stand against God. God had judged them for their mistreatment and brutality against His people. The strongest cities will not stand against the judgment of the Lord. I […]

Jeremiah 48:10 Cursed! be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, And cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood. When God has a work for us to do He expects us to do it with all of our heart. Why would we not be involved? Why would we not from […]

Jeremiah 46:28 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, Saith the LORD: for I am with thee; For I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: But I will not make a full end of thee, But correct thee in measure; Yet will I not leave thee wholly […]

Jeremiah 45:5 And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest. Baruch has been a faithful layman helping Jeremiah do his ministry. Now things are […]

Jeremiah 41:2 Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land. They were eating together. Gedaliah had come in peace. He […]

Jeremiah 40:3 Now the LORD hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you. Nebuzar-adan, the captain of the guard, must have known what Jeremiah had prophesied. He realized that even the wicked things […]

Jeremiah 39:15 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying, I read this section and I am struck with the price God’s men paid for being just that. They were God’s men. That meant that they were locked up. They were only […]

Jeremiah 38:4 Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare […]

Jeremiah 37:2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah. God sent His word. They had a prophet, a man of God, to speak to them for God. That didn’t matter to them. They ignored the […]

Jeremiah 36:23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth. 24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent […]

Jeremiah 34:17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed […]

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. This promise was to God’s people Israel. They would see God do things that they had never dreamed possible and He is going to do just that. He challenged His people to call on […]

Jeremiah 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, And write it in their hearts; And will be their God, And they shall be my people. 34 And they shall teach no […]

Jeremiah 30:11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: Though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, Yet will I not make a full end of thee: But I will correct thee in measure, And will not leave thee altogether unpunished. God is with Israel […]

Jeremiah 26:3 If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings. God wants them to listen. He wants them to turn from their evil ways. He wants this […]

Jeremiah 25:7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt. God says that they have not listened. They will not pay attention. They will not take to heart what He has to say to them through […]

Jeremiah 24:7 And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart. The day is coming that God will give Israel a heart to know Him. They have […]
