Jeremiah 3:25

both we and our ancestors.

From earliest times to this very day

we have not obeyed the Lord our God.’

Jeremiah 8:14

Jeremiah Laments over the Coming Destruction

8:14 The people say,

“Why are we just sitting here?

Let us gather together inside the fortified cities.

since the Lord our God has condemned us to die.

He has condemned us to drink the poison waters of judgment

because we have sinned against him.

Jeremiah 12:9

Let all the nations gather together like wild beasts.

Let them come and destroy these people I call my own.

Jeremiah Petitions the Lord to Punish Those Who Attack Him

18:18 Then some people said, “Come on! Let us consider how to deal with Jeremiah! There will still be priests to instruct us, wise men to give us advice, and prophets to declare God’s word. Come on! Let’s bring charges against him and get rid of him! Then we will not need to pay attention to anything he says.”

23:28 Let the prophet who has had a dream go ahead and tell his dream. Let the person who has received my message report that message faithfully. What is like straw cannot compare to what is like grain! I, the Lord, affirm it!

Jeremiah 46:16

46:16 I will make many stumble.

They will fall over one another in their hurry to flee.

They will say, ‘Get up!

Let’s go back to our own people.

Let’s go back to our homelands

because the enemy is coming to destroy us.’

Jeremiah 50:16

Kill all those who wield the sickle at harvest time.

Let all the foreigners return to their own people.

Let them hurry back to their own lands

to escape destruction by that enemy army.
