Today's text from the ESV Study Bible: Jeremiah 41-45.
There have been sad times in my life where I have been disobedient to God. However, the brazen disobedience displayed in today's reading is quite shocking.
God has destroyed Jerusalem through King Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon.
There exists a few remnant Judeans who intend to run off to the protection of Egypt. Jeremiah sternly warns them that they too will die if they look to Egypt.
They thumb their noses to Jeremiah, and just like the insane leaders of Jerusalem, they defy God and set about to worship the idols of Egypt.
Tomorrow, I am certain that we will see the result of their stubborn stiff necks.
Stay tuned.
