"Why," the Lord inquired, "is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding?" Jeremiah 8:5. In the language of the prophet it was because they had obeyed not the voice of the Lord their God and had refused to be corrected. See Jeremiah 5:3. "Truth is perished," he mourned, "and is cut off from their mouth." "The stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their 415 coming; but My people know not the judgment of the Lord." "Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the Lord: shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?" Jeremiah 7:28; 8:7; 9:9.

Jeremias

"Hvorfor falder da dette folk i Jerusalem fra i evigt frafald?" spurgte Herren. Jer. B, S. Profeten sagde, at det skyldtes, at de ikke havde adlydt Herren deres Guds røst og nægtede at tage ved lære. Se Jer. 5,3.
