Discovery Box| (1.00) | Jer 12:13 |
| My people will sow wheat, but will harvest weeds. 1 They will work until they are exhausted, but will get nothing from it. They will be disappointed in their harvests 2 because the Lord will take them away in his fierce anger. 3 |
| (1.00) | Jer 13:2 |

| (1.00) | Jer 13:8 |
| Then the Lord said to me, 1 |
| (1.00) | Jer 13:10 |
| These wicked people refuse to obey what I have said. 1 They follow the stubborn inclinations of their own hearts and pay allegiance 2 to other gods by worshiping and serving them. So 3 they will become just like these linen shorts which are good for nothing. |
| (1.00) | Jer 13:11 |
| For,’ I say, 1 ‘just as shorts cling tightly to a person’s body, so I bound the whole nation of Israel and the whole nation of Judah 2 tightly 3 to me.’ I intended for them to be my special people and to bring me fame, honor, and praise. 4 But they would not obey me. |

| Then I said to the people of Judah, 1 “Listen and pay attention! Do not be arrogant! For the Lord has spoken. |
| (1.00) | Jer 13:16 |
| Show the Lord your God the respect that is due him. 1 Do it before he brings the darkness of disaster. 2 Do it before you stumble 3 into distress like a traveler on the mountains at twilight. 4 Do it before he turns the light of deliverance you hope for into the darkness and gloom of exile. 5 |
| (1.00) | Jer 13:26 |
| So I will pull your skirt up over your face and expose you to shame like a disgraced adulteress! 1 |
| (1.00) | Jer 13:27 |
| People of Jerusalem, 1 I have seen your adulterous worship, your shameless prostitution to, and your lustful pursuit of, other gods. 2 I have seen your disgusting acts of worship 3 on the hills throughout the countryside. You are doomed to destruction! 4 How long will you continue to be unclean?’” |

| (1.00) | Jer 14:7 |

| (1.00) | Jer 14:14 |
| Then the Lord said to me, “Those prophets are prophesying lies while claiming my authority! 1 I did not send them. I did not commission them. 2 I did not speak to them. They are prophesying to these people false visions, worthless predictions, 3 and the delusions of their own mind. |
| (1.00) | Jer 14:17 |
| “Tell these people this, Jeremiah: 1 ‘My eyes overflow with tears day and night without ceasing. 2 For my people, my dear children, 3 have suffered a crushing blow. They have suffered a serious wound. 4 |
| (1.00) | Jer 14:18 |
| If I go out into the countryside, I see those who have been killed in battle. If I go into the city, I see those who are sick because of starvation. 1 For both prophet and priest go about their own business in the land without having any real understanding.’” 2 |
| (1.00) | Jer 14:22 |
| Do any of the worthless idols 1 of the nations cause rain to fall? Do the skies themselves send showers? Is it not you, O Lord our God, who does this? 2 So we put our hopes in you 3 because you alone do all this.” |
