JEREMIAH 6

WARNING THAT JUDAH WILL BE OVERTHROWN 

God told Jerusalem to flee for safety, but the people did not listen. An army is coming from the north and Judah is told to prepare for war, but they do not pay attention. God claims that Jerusalem is a city that must be punished for their faithlessness and plans to allow oppression and destruction.

God does not want the empty sacrifices of Judah, He wants their hearts and affections. God expresses that His Word is meant to bring pleasure and blessing, but the Israelites scorn and ignore it. After years of constant mercy and warning, God plans to use Babylon to bring destruction upon Jerusalem.
