Jeremiah
"I will lay stumbling blocks before this people"
Text: Jeremiah 6:21
ANOTHER CLEAR WORD OF WARNING
Once again, God warned Judah about the threat from the north. This was God reaching out to His people with infinite patience!
“Therefore thus says the LORD:
‘Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people,
And the fathers and the sons together shall fall on them.
The neighbour and his friend shall perish.’
Thus says the LORD:
‘Behold, a people come from the north country,
And a great nation will be raised from the farthest parts of the earth.
They will lay hold on bow and spear;
They are cruel and have no mercy;
Their voice roars like the sea;
And they ride on horses,
As men of war set in array against you, O daughter of Zion.'”
Jeremiah 6:21-23
