Jeremiah 4:22

4:22 The Lord answered,

“This will happen because my people are foolish.

They do not know me.

They are like children who have no sense.

They have no understanding.

They are skilled at doing evil.

They do not know how to do good.”

Jeremiah 11:16

But I will set you on fire,

fire that will blaze with a mighty roar.

Then all your branches will be good for nothing.
