will bring this on you.
This is the punishment you deserve, and it will be painful indeed.

Do people not get back up when they fall down?
Do they not turn around when they go the wrong way?

All who pass that way will be filled with horror
and will shake their heads in derision.
22:21 While you were feeling secure I gave you warning.
But you said, “I refuse to listen to you.”
That is the way you have acted from your earliest history onward.
Indeed, you have never paid attention to me.
50:5 They will ask the way to Zion;
they will turn their faces toward it.
They will come and bind themselves to the Lord
in a lasting covenant that will never be forgotten.
The prophecies of Jeremiah end here.
