potent verses from jeremiah
as i have been reading through Jeremiah lately, God has brought to my attention a few potent verses. here are a few of them:
…If you utter what is precious and not what is worthless, you shall be as my mouth…. Jeremiah 15:19
I will feast the soul of the priests with abundance, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, declares the LORD. Jeremiah 31:14
Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD with slackness, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from bloodshed. Jeremiah 48:10
Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name. He will surely plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, but unrest to the inhabitants of Babylon. Jeremiah 50:34
And one from Lamentations:
You will give them dullness of heart; your curse will be on them. Lamentations 3:65. It is truly scary to me that one possible sign of God’s curse on a person’s life is their dullness of heart. They do not deeply or truly care for God, for people, for pain in others’ lives, for anything. Their hearts have grown dull.
