As a well keeps its water fresh so [Jerusalem] keeps her wickedness fresh. Violence and ruin are what you hear in her, wounds and blows always forced on my attention. Reform, Jerusalem, or I shall turn my attention away from you and reduce you to a desert, a land without people.’ (Jer. 6:7-8)
It really is quite a thing to consider all the judgment passages in the prophetic literature. Unrelenting rage… It’s quite a thing. And so perfectly understandable.
