Day 224 of the podcast, reading Jeremiah 10-13 NET, read along at:

https://netbible.org/bible/Jeremiah+10-13/

This is day 224 of our journey.

Today starts with a rant against the false gods that people create to replace the True and Living God. These gods are just things made by man with no power and their foolish worshippers will be overthrown. Jeremiah then reminds the people of the covenant that their ancestors made with the Lord, specifically of the curses connected with failing to fulfill their commitments. Judah will now be destroyed in response to their failure to keep the terms of that covenant. Foreign rulers will invade and devastate the land and the highly exalted position that Jerusalem holds will be ruined because the people have refused to obey and follow God.

Join me in Jeremiah 10-13 turn to the true God alone!

Jeremiah 11:3

Tell them that the Lord, the God of Israel, says, ‘Anyone who does not keep the terms of the covenant will be under a curse.

Jeremiah 12:10

Many foreign rulers will ruin the land where I planted my people. They will trample all over my chosen land. They will turn my beautiful land into a desolate wilderness.

Jeremiah 13:9

“I, the Lord, say: ‘This shows how I will ruin the highly exalted position in which Judah and Jerusalem take pride.
