Jeremiah 9:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² What man is wise enough to understand these things? Is there someone who has been taught by the Lord who can explain them? Why was the land ruined? Why has it been made like an empty desert where no one goes?

¹³ The Lord answered, “It is because Judah quit following my teachings that I gave them. They have not obeyed me. They have not done what I told them to do. ¹⁴ Instead, the people of Judah were stubborn. They followed the false god Baal. Their fathers taught them to do this!”
