Jeremiah 3
…and thou hast polluted the land with thy
whoredoms and with thy wickedness…and thou dost have a whore’s forehead, thou
dost refuse to be ashamed ~ Jeremiah
3:2-3
…Behold, thou hast spoken and done as many evil
things as thou could. ~ Jeremiah
3:5
And I said after she had done all these things,
Turn thou unto me. But she did not return. ~ Jeremiah 3:7
And it came to pass through her judging her
whoredom to be a light thing that the land became defiled…has never
turned unto me with her whole heart, but untruthfully, said the LORD. ~ Jeremiah 3:9-10
Return, thou backsliding…saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to
fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine
iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, and
hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice,
saith the
Lord. Turn, O backsliding
children, saith the Lord… And I will give you pastors according to my heart,
which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. ~ Jeremiah 3:12-15
Surely as a
wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously
with me…saith the Lord…they have perverted their way, and they have
forgotten the LORD their God. Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings.
Behold, we come unto thee: for thou art the Lord our God. ~ Jeremiah 3:20-22
We lie
down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against
the Lord our
God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed
the voice of the Lord our God. ~ Jeremiah 3:25
Jeremiah 4
The lion is come up from
his den (1 Peter 5:8), and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is
gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be
laid waste, without an inhabitant. For this…lament and howl; for the
fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us. And it shall come
to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish,
and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the
prophets shall wonder. ~ Jeremiah
4:7-9
…watchers
come from a far country, and give out their voice against the
cities…Thy way and thy
doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness because it
is bitter, because it reaches unto thine heart. ~ Jeremiah
4:16, 18
For my people are foolish; the ignorant sons with no understanding have not known me; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. I beheld the earth, and, behold, it was without order, and
empty; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the
mountains, and, behold, they trembled, and all the hills were destroyed. I
beheld, and, behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens had
fled. I beheld, and, behold…all its cities were broken down at the presence of
the LORD and by his fierce anger. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land
shall be desolate; yet I will not make a full end. For this shall the
earth be made desolate, and the heavens above be darkened because I spoke; I purposed and did not repent, neither will I turn back from it…every city shall be forsaken, and
not a man dwell therein. And thou who art destroyed, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothe thyself with crimson, though thou deck
thee with ornaments of gold, though thou paint thy eyes with antimony, in vain
shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers
will despise thee; they will seek thy life. (in reference
to your political “allies” O America) ~ Jeremiah 4:22-30

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
