JEREMIAH 5

JUDAH’S SIN HAS LED THEM ASTRAY

The city of Jerusalem had become so unrepentant that there was not a single man who sought truth or justice. God was betrayed by His chosen people whom He continually protected and loved.

Because of Judah’s unfaithfulness, a distant nation will come against them and cause complete destruction of the city. The leaders and prophets are just as bad as anyone else, acting on their own accord, sharing false information with Jerusalem, and doubting God’s wrath.

Just as Judah had served other gods, they will now be exiled to serve foreign nations. The people of Jerusalem have no fear of God or respect for His authority. Their own iniquities have turned them away from God and their sin has deprived them of good.
