Day 340 - Read Jeremiah 11-12

The Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah to speak to the people of Judah and Jerusalem. The Lord warned them to hear His commands and to follow the covenant given to their fathers who did not obey. Their children also chose to turn to gods made with human hands who could not hear their prayers or save them. The Lord promised judgement and destruction upon those who sought to kill Jeremiah because of his prophesies. Jeremiah complained to the Lord that those who did evil prospered. The Lord confirmed He would judge evil, then show mercy to those who turn and follow His commands.
