Jeremiah
"You have done worse than your fathers"
Text: Jeremiah 16:12
A FIRM RESPONSE
Jeremiah, fortified by his renewal from the Lord (Jeremiah 15:19-21), spoke firmly as a courageous prophet of God! He was not intimidated by the resistance of the people!
“Then you shall say to them,
‘Because your fathers have forsaken Me,’ says the LORD;
‘they have walked after other gods
and have served them and worshiped them,
and have forsaken Me and not kept My law.
And you have done worse than your fathers, for behold,
each one follows the dictates of his own evil heart,
so that no one listens to Me.
Therefore I will cast you out of this land
into a land that you do not know, neither you nor your fathers;
and there you shall serve other gods day and night,
where I will not show you favour.'”
Jeremiah 16:11-13
