Jeremiah 4:22

4:22 The Lord answered,

They have no understanding.

They are skilled at doing evil.

They do not know how to do good.”

14:19 Then I said,

“Lord, have you completely rejected the nation of Judah?

Do you despise the city of Zion?

that we are beyond recovery?

We hope for peace, but nothing good has come of it.

We hope for a time of relief from our troubles, but experience terror.

and will not grow faint or weary any more.
