Jeremiah, 8

2. They will expose them to the Sun and Moon and all the gods of the skies, because they have loved and served them, and they have followed and worshiped them. These bones will not be gathered up to be replaced in tombs but will remain like dung on the ground.

Stihovi vezani uz Jeremiah, 8:

Chapter 8 of Jeremiah deals with the unbelief and lack of repentance of the people of Judah, which refuses to recognize the seriousness of their sins and to turn to God. Next, I present five verses related to these themes:

Isaiah 55:6-7: "Seek the Lord as long as one can find, invoke him while he is near. Leave the wicked his way, and the evil man his thoughts; turn to the Lord, who shall be sympathetic to him; To our God, because it is abundant in forgiving. " This verse encourages people to seek God as long as there is time, abandoning their sinful ways and turning to the Lord, who is abundant in forgiving.

Ezekiel 33:11: "Tell them, as well as I live, says the Lord Jehovah, that I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but in which the wicked becomes his way and live. of your evil ways, why will you die, O house of Israel? " This verse highlights God's desire that people turn to Him and live, instead of persisting in their sins and die.

Psalm 51:17: "Sacrifices to God are the broken Spirit; to a broken and contrite heart thou shalt not despise, O God." This verse emphasizes that the true sacrifice to God is a broken and contrite heart, not simply external rituals.

Proverbs 28:13: "He who covers his transgressions will never prosper; but what confesses them and leaves them will reach mercy." This verse highlights the importance of confession and abandonment of sins, as a condition for God's mercy.

Isaiah 1:18: "Come, and let us, say the Lord; even if your sins are like scarlet, they will become white like snow; even if they are red as Carmesim, they will become like white wool. " This verse presents the offer of forgiveness and restoration that God makes to his people, even if his sins are many and serious.
