Jeremiah 3:2
3:2 “Look up at the hilltops and consider this.
You have had sex with other gods on every one of them.
You waited for those gods like a thief lying in wait in the desert.
You defiled the land by your wicked prostitution to other gods.
Jeremiah 9:26
9:26 That is, I will punish the Egyptians, the Judeans, the Edomites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, and all the desert people who cut their hair short at the temples.
I will do so because none of the people of those nations are really circumcised in the
Lord’s sight.
Moreover, none of the people of Israel
are circumcised when it comes to their hearts.”
Jeremiah 12:16
12:16 But they must make sure you learn to follow the religious practices of my people.
Once they taught my people to swear their oaths using the name of the god Baal.
But then, they must swear oaths using my name, saying, “As surely as the
Lord lives, I swear.”
If they do these things,
then they will be included among the people I call my own.
Jeremiah 15:19
15:19 Because of this, the Lord said,
“You must repent of such words and thoughts!
If you do, I will restore you to the privilege of serving me.
If you say what is worthwhile instead of what is worthless,
I will again allow you to be my spokesman.
They must become as you have been.
You must not become like them.

31:23 The Lord God of Israel who rules over all says,

When I do, they will again say of Jerusalem,
‘May the Lord bless you, you holy mountain,
the place where righteousness dwells.’
Jeremiah 32:24
32:24 Even now siege ramps have been built up around the city
in order to capture it. War,
starvation, and disease are sure to make the city fall into the hands of the Babylonians
who are attacking it.
Lord,
you threatened that this would happen. Now you can see that it is already taking place.
Jeremiah 38:11

from there and let them down by ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern.
