Jeremiah, 19

4. This is because they have forsaken me and alienated this place by burning in it incense to strange gods which neither they nor their fathers knew; and the kings of Judah have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.

Versi relativi a Jeremiah, 19:

Jeremiah 19 talks about the message that God gave to Jeremiah to convey to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. God commanded Jeremiah to buy a clay jar and go to the valley of ben-huminom to proclaim the message the Lord had given. The message was that God would bring about Judah and Jerusalem such a destruction that the ears of those who heard about it would be buzzing. Here are five verses related to the topics addressed in Jeremiah 19:

Isaiah 29:16: "You divert things, as if the potter were the same as the clay! he understands'?" This verse emphasizes that God is the potter and that we are the clay in his hands. Just as the potter has the power to shape the clay, God has the power to shape our lives.

Isaiah 45:9: "Woe to the one who contains with his creator! The shard among other clay shards! Can the clay say to what shapes him:" What are you doing? "Or:" Don't you have a skill "?" This verse continues with the analogy of the potter and the clay, emphasizing that we should not question or contend with God, our Creator.

Romans 9:21: "Or does not have the right potter over the clay, to make him a vase for honor and another, for dishonor?" This verse also talks about God as a potter and reminds us that He has the right to shape our lives the way He wants.

2 Corinthians 4:7: "But we have this treasure in clay vessels, so that the excellence of power is of God and not of us." This verse talks about the fact that although we are weak and fragile as clay vessels, we have a treasure in us that comes from God.

Revelation 2:27: "And he shall go go with an iron scepter and shatter them as clay objects;” This verse talks about the power and authority that Christ will have about those who refuse to repent of their sins.
