Jeremiah 3:19
3:19 “I thought to myself,
‘Oh what a joy it would be for me to treat you like a son!
What a joy it would be for me to give you a pleasant land,
the most beautiful piece of property there is in all the world!’
I thought you would call me, ‘Father’
and would never cease being loyal to me.
Jeremiah 11:4
11:4 Those are the terms that I charged your ancestors
to keep
when I brought them out of Egypt, that place which was like an iron-smelting furnace.
I said at that time,
“Obey me and carry out the terms of the agreement
exactly as I commanded you. If you do,
you will be my people and I will be your God.
Jeremiah 23:32
23:32 I, the
Lord, affirm
that I am opposed to those prophets who dream up lies and report them. They are misleading my people with their reckless lies.
I did not send them. I did not commission them. They are not helping these people at all.
I, the
Lord, affirm it!”
Jeremiah 24:7
24:7 I will give them the desire to acknowledge that I
am the
Lord. I will be their God and they will be my people. For they will wholeheartedly
return to me.’
Jeremiah 29:23
29:23 This will happen to them because they have done what is shameful
in Israel. They have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives and have spoken lies while claiming my authority.
They have spoken words that I did not command them to speak. I know what they have done. I have been a witness to it,’ says the
Lord.”
Jeremiah 31:32
31:32 It will not be like the old
covenant that I made with their ancestors
when I delivered them
from Egypt. For they violated that covenant, even though I was like a faithful husband to them,”
says the
Lord.
