Jeremiah 2:32
2:32 Does a young woman forget to put on her jewels?
Does a bride forget to put on her bridal attire?
But my people have forgotten me
for more days than can even be counted.
Jeremiah 3:11-14
3:11 Then the
Lord said to me, “Under the circumstances, wayward Israel could even be considered less guilty than unfaithful Judah.
The Lord Calls on Israel and Judah to Repent
3:12 “Go and shout this message to my people in the countries in the north. Tell them,
‘Come back to me, wayward Israel,’ says the Lord.
‘I will not continue to look on you with displeasure.
For I am merciful,’ says the Lord.
‘I will not be angry with you forever.
3:13 However, you must confess that you have done wrong,
and that you have rebelled against the Lord your God.
You must confess that you have given yourself to foreign gods under every green tree,
and have not obeyed my commands,’ says the Lord.
3:14 “Come back to me, my wayward sons,” says the Lord, “for I am your true master. If you do, I will take one of you from each town and two of you from each family group, and I will bring you back to Zion.
Jeremiah 7:24-26
7:24 But they did not listen to me or pay any attention to me. They followed the stubborn inclinations of their own wicked hearts. They acted worse and worse instead of better.
7:25 From the time your ancestors departed the land of Egypt until now,
I sent my servants the prophets to you again and again,
day after day.
7:26 But your ancestors
did not listen to me nor pay attention to me. They became obstinate
and were more wicked than even their own forefathers.’”

Soon the Lord will put them out to pasture
like a lamb in a broad field!

they call to Baal, but he will never exalt them!
