Jeremiah 11:11-17
Few people understand that evil pursues sinners and entangles them in snares put there by their own desires, out of which they cannot free themselves. Now, in their distress, they may turn to their many gods and many altars which will do nothing for them. their prayers will not be heard because they gods are manmade not heavenly, nor can they expect benefits from the prayers of others. Their profession of religion shall prove of no use. When trouble came upon them, they made this their confidence, on something other than God and he has rejected it. His altar shall yield them no satisfaction. The remembrance of God's former favors to them shall be no comfort under troubles; and his remembrance of them shall be no argument for their relief. Every sin against the Lord is a sin against us, and so it will be found sooner or later. +

Jeremiah 8:1-3
In these versus I think we are looking at the complete corruption of the people is the basis for the lament. Here instead of sympathy, Jeremiah has nothing but contempt or the lying, deceiving, untrustworthy nation. Though no real hurt can be done to a dead body, yet disgrace to the remains of wicked persons may alarm those yet alive; and this reminds us that the Divine justice and punishments extend beyond the grave. Whatever befalls us here, let us humble ourselves before God, and seek his mercy. +

Jeremiah 7:29-34
Through the mouth of His prophet God threatens Jerusalem. God sends the people through starving time; both of sorrow and of slavery, Jerusalem must be degraded, and separated from God, as she had been delivered to him. The heart is the place in which God has chosen to put his name; but if sin has the innermost and uppermost place there, we pollute the temple of the Lord. The destruction of Jerusalem appears here very terrible. The slain shall be many; they having made it the place of their sin. Evil pursues sinners, even after death. Those who will not, by the grace of God, be cured of vain mirth, shall, by the justice of God, be deprived of all mirth. How many ruin their health and property without complaining, when engaged in Satan's service! May we learn to relish holy joys with our God, and to sit loose to all others though lawful. +

Jeremiah 7:17-20
The Jews took pride in showing zeal for their idols. Let us learn to be earnest in the service of our God, even from this bad example. Let us think it an honor to be employed in any work for God. Let us be as diligent ourselves, and as careful to teach our children the truths of God, as many are to teach the mysteries of iniquity. The direct tendency of this sin is malice against God, but it will hurt themselves. Most will find there is no escaping. God's wrath is an unquenchable fire. +

Jeremiah 7:1-16
When I read these versus this morning, I am reading that the prophet is actually warning the people that the leadership of the temple are not interpreting the word of God as it is written. They have introduced their sinful wishes into the scriptures and miss leading the people. No observances, professions, or supposed revelations, will profit, if men do not mend their ways and their doings. This is why Jesus called them a brewed of vipers and hypocrites. None can claim an interest in free salvation, who allow themselves in the practice of known sin, or live in the neglect of known duty. They thought that the temple they profaned would be their protection. However, all who continue in sin because grace has abounded, or that grace may abound, make Christ the minister of sin; and the cross of Christ, rightly understood, forms the most effectual remedy to such poisonous sentiments. The Son of God gave himself for our transgressions, to show the excellence of the Divine law, and the evil of sin. Never let us think we may do wickedness without suffering for it. +

Jeremiah 6:18-30
God rejects their outward services, as worthless to atone for their sins. Sacrifice and incense were to direct them to a Mediator; but when offered to purchase a license to go on in sin, they provoke God. The sins of God's professing people make them an easy prey to their enemies. They dare not show themselves. Saints may rejoice in hope of God's mercies, though they see them only in the promise: sinners must mourn for fear of God's judgments, though they see them only in the threatening. They are the worst of revolters, and are all corrupters. Sinners soon become tempters. They are compared to one supposed to have good metal in it, but which proves all dross. Nothing will prevail to part between them and their sins. Reprobate silver shall they be called, useless and worthless. When warnings, corrections, rebukes, and all means of grace, leave men unrenewed, they will be left, as rejected of God, to everlasting misery. Let us pray, then, that we may be refined by the Lord, as silver is refined. +

Jeremiah 6:9-17
Jeremiah tells us in these versus that when the Lord arises to take vengeance, no sinners regardless of age or rank, male or female will escape. Sins of mankind has closed their ears to the truth. Mankind was set upon the world and was wholly carried away by the love of it. If we judge of this sin by God's word, we find multitudes in every station and rank given up to it. Mankind has fallen in love with the things God has created and pushed the creator aside. Those are to be reckoned our worst and most dangerous enemies, who flatter us in a sinful way. Oh, that men would be wise for their souls! Ask for the old paths; the way of godliness and righteousness has always been the way God has owned and blessed. Ask for the old paths set forth by the written word of God. When you have found the good way, go on in it, you will find abundant recompence at your journey's end; but if men will not obey the voice of God and flee to his appointed Refuge, it will plainly appear at the day of judgment, that they are ruined because they reject God's word. +

Jeremiah 6:1-8
Whatever methods are used, it is vain to contend with God's judgments. The more we indulge in the pleasures of this life, the more we unfit ourselves for the troubles of this life. Here we read about the invasion of Judea by the Chaldean army. How they swarmed and broke in upon the land of Judah, and in a little time devour all. The day is coming, when those careless and secure in sinful ways will be visited. It is folly to trifle when we have eternal salvation to work out, and the enemies of that salvation to fight against. But they were thus eager, not that they might fulfil God's counsels, but that they might fill their own treasures; yet God thereby served his own purposes. The corrupt heart of man, in its natural state, casts out evil thoughts, just as a fountain casts out her waters. It is always flowing, yet always full. The God of mercy is slow to depart even from a provoking people, and is earnest with them, that by repentance and reformation, they may prevent things from coming to extremity. +

Jeremiah 5:19-31
Unhumbled hearts are ready to charge God with being unjust in their afflictions because they do not read their sins into their punishment. If men will inquire why the Lord does harsh things to them, let them think of the severity of their sins. The restless waves obeyed the Divine boundaries that they should not pass the sandy shores, which were as much a restraint as lofty mountains. Man has a hardened heart when it comes to God’s laws for them and they try to burst all restraints of God's law and have turned wholly to wickedness. They have not considered their interests for tomorrow. While the Lord, year after year, reserves to us the appointed weeks of harvest, men live on his bounty; yet they transgress against him. Sin deprives us of God's blessings; it makes the heaven as brass, and the earth as iron. Certainly, the things of this world are not the best things; and we are not to think, that, because evil men prosper, God allows their practices. Though sentence against evil works is not executed speedily, it will be executed. This speaks to the certainty and the necessity of God's judgments. Let those who walk in bad ways consider that an end will come, and there will be bitterness in the latter end. +

Jeremiah 5:1-9
None could be found who behaved as upright and godly men. God saw the true character of the people through all their disguises. The poor were illiterate and ignorant, and therefore they were led like sheep in wicked ways. What can be expected but works of darkness, from people that know nothing of God and religion? They are God's poor, who, notwithstanding poverty, know the way of the Lord, walk in it, and do their duty; but the Jewish scholars were willingly ignorant, and their ignorance would not be their excuse. The rich were insolent and haughty, and the abuse of God's favors made their sin worse. Jesus called the priests and leaders of the temple “a brood of vipers,” “hypocrites”. They studied the Pentateuch; (the first five books of our Bible) they should have known our God and yet they promulgated almost 700 rules to control the people and not interpret the scriptures for the people. The Jews' profession of religion was hypocritical. +

Psalm 39:1-6
David meditates on his lose tongue in the presence of sinners. If an evil thought should arise in the mind, suppress it, do not let it pass your lips. Consciousness of your words is a habit and is the bridle upon our head; watchfulness in acts, is the hand upon the bridle. When we cannot separate ourselves from wicked men, we should remember they will watch our words, and turn them on us, if they can, to our disadvantage. Sometimes it may be necessary to keep silence, even from good words. Our impatience is a sin within us and it is used by the evil one to hurt us. Satan finds this weakness amusing and its ill effects upon souls is no less than burning. In our greatest health and prosperity, man’s vanity is our weakness. Our physical bodies do not live long and soon return to dust. This is an undoubted truth, but we are very unwilling to believe it and we fight it as we approach the end of our life on this earth. Therefore, let us pray that God would enlighten our minds by his Holy Spirit, and fill our hearts with his grace, that we may be ready for death every day and hour. +
