Jeremiah 6:16

6:16 The Lord said to his people:

“You are standing at the crossroads. So consider your path.

Ask where the old, reliable paths are.

Ask where the path is that leads to blessing and follow it.

If you do, you will find rest for your souls.”

But they said, “We will not follow it!”

Jeremiah 13:12

Jeremiah 14:22

14:22 Do any of the worthless idols of the nations cause rain to fall?

Do the skies themselves send showers?

Is it not you, O Lord our God, who does this?

So we put our hopes in you

because you alone do all this.”

Let’s bring charges against him and get rid of him! Then we will not need to pay attention to anything he says.”

51:9 Foreigners living there will say,

‘We tried to heal her, but she could not be healed.

It will be like it is piled up to heaven, stacked up into the clouds.’
