Jeremiah 4:4
4:4 Just as ritual circumcision cuts away the foreskin
as an external symbol of dedicated covenant commitment,
you must genuinely dedicate yourselves to the Lord
and get rid of everything that hinders your commitment to me,
people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem.
If you do not, my anger will blaze up like a flaming fire against you
that no one will be able to extinguish.
That will happen because of the evil you have done.”
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 22:3
22:3 The
Lord says, “Do what is just and right. Deliver those who have been robbed from those
who oppress them. Do not exploit or mistreat foreigners who live in your land, children who have no fathers, or widows.
Do not kill innocent people
in this land.
Jeremiah 31:34
31:34 “People will no longer need to teach their neighbors and relatives to know me. For all of them, from the least important to the most important, will know me,” says the Lord. “For I will forgive their sin and will no longer call to mind the wrong they have done.”
