Jeremiah 44:15-48:20, Proverbs 15:18-33

Jeremiah 44:15 - 1:09 . Jeremiah 45 - 5:45 . Jeremiah 46 - 6:58 . Jeremiah 47 - 14:33 . Jeremiah 48 - 16:15 . Proverbs 15:18 - 20:16 . Following the destruction of Jerusalem, Jeremiah had elected to stay in the land with permission from the Chaldeans. After an insurrection and no small tumult within the remnant who stayed in the land, the skittish group asked for direction from the Lord. Jeremiah told them plainly that staying in the land would result in blessing but fleeing to Egypt would result in hardship, violence, and famine. They rejected the Lord’s command and went to Egypt anyway, taking Jeremiah with them. When we last left Jeremiah, he was in Egypt and had just rebuked the people for burning incense to other gods. Our reading opens with their response to the prophet concerning this rebuke. We’ll then begin a section of prophecies that Jeremiah spoke against other nations. ::: Christian Standard Bible translation. All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.
