Jeremiah 10:15-17

Jeremiah 10:15-17
The Voice
15 Their idols are worthless, the work of their hands an embarrassing mockery.
They are doomed to perish under God’s judgment.
16 The portion of Jacob, the Eternal One, is not like any of these.
He was not fashioned out of human hands.
Instead, it is He who made all things and appointed Israel to inherit it all.
His name is the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies.
These words are directed at a nation that cannot remember the beauty and power of true worship; instead, her people are always drifting toward profane and useless practices that leave them empty and far from the God who loves them so. The warnings against idolatry, no matter how many times or how loudly they are offered, always seem to fall on deaf ears. But now the judgment is close at hand. The enemy first seen in Jeremiah’s visions is drawing closer. The dreaded hour of judgment is coming.
17 Pack up what you have; take what you can from the land.
You’ll soon be under siege!

you who live under siege.
