Jeremiah 9:13-16 - It is because they have forsaken my Law

9:13,14

God reiterates yet again why this is all happening. They have abandoned God’s law, they have not followed the Law. God has said this on several occasions already, the people are blind. We could say the same about our own society. It is obvious that abandoning God’s ways does no good. The breakdown of family life has caused all sorts of problems, yet we insist that marriage does not really matter. Transideology is clearly nonsense doing nothing but cause confusion, yet we seem to think it is a road we must go down. The people worshipped the Baals, “as their ancestors taught them”. The sin of Judah had been building up one generation after another. Likewise, the sin of this land has been building up generation after generation.


9:15,16

So the people would be scattered among the nations. This had already happened to the northern kingdom of Israel, and would soon happen to Judah. The people would eat bitter food and poisoned water, and many would die from the sword.
