Jeremiah 8:11

8:11 They offer only superficial help

for the hurt my dear people have suffered.

They say, “Everything will be all right!”

But everything is not all right!

Jeremiah 8:21-22

8:21 My heart is crushed because my dear people are being crushed.

I go about crying and grieving. I am overwhelmed with dismay.

8:22 There is still medicinal ointment available in Gilead!

There is still a physician there!

Why then have my dear people

not been restored to health?

Jeremiah 46:19

46:19 Pack your bags for exile,

you inhabitants of poor dear Egypt.

For Memphis will be laid waste.

It will lie in ruins and be uninhabited.

Jeremiah 31:21

31:21 I will say, ‘My dear children of Israel, keep in mind

the road you took when you were carried off.

Mark off in your minds the landmarks.

Make a mental note of telltale signs marking the way back.

Return, my dear children of Israel.

Return to these cities of yours.
