Jeremiah 8:19

8:19 I hear my dear people crying out

throughout the length and breadth of the land.

They are crying, ‘Is the Lord no longer in Zion?

Is her divine King no longer there?’”

The Lord answers,

“Why then do they provoke me to anger with their images,

with their worthless foreign idols?”

Jeremiah 49:1

Judgment Against Ammon

49:1 The Lord spoke about the Ammonites.

“Do you think there are not any people of the nation of Israel remaining?

Do you think there are not any of them remaining to reinherit their land?

Is that why you people who worship the god Milcom

have taken possession of the territory of Gad and live in his cities?
