Jeremiah 25:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ The Lord has spoken his word to me again and again for these past 23 years. I have been a prophet since the thirteenth year of Josiah. Josiah was the son of Amon king of Judah. I have spoken messages from the Lord to you from that time until today. But you have not listened.

⁴ The Lord has sent his servants the prophets to you over and over again. But you have not listened to them. You have not paid any attention to them. ⁵ They have said, “Stop your evil ways. Stop doing what is wrong. Do this so you can stay in the land. This is the land that the Lord gave to you and your ancestors long ago. He gave it to you to live in forever.
