Jeremiah
"Everyone is given to covetousness"
Text: Jeremiah 6:13
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
The Ten Commandments were given by God in much wisdom. These Commandments, if kept, would lead to great blessings. They were also given to prevent a sinful way of life. The 2nd Commandment was broken when Israel abandoned God for idols. The 10th Commandment was also wilfully broken by the people.
“Because from the least of them even to the greatest of them,
Everyone is given to covetousness;
And from the prophet even to the priest,
Everyone deals falsely.
They have also healed the hurt of My people slightly,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace!’
When there is no peace.”
Jeremiah 6:13-14
