Morning Light - Jeremiah 12

Today: [Jeremiah 12] Where Does Responsibility Lie? In this chapter, Jeremiah cries out to God that He would have mercy upon the people. The Babylonians have descended, the cities of Judah are being taken one by one. Jeremiah complains to God that wickedness is triumphing over the Lord’s heritage. God’s response to Jeremiah is that the people have set themselves against Him and therefore enmity exists between the Father and the people. Going on to emphasis where the responsibility lies the Father gives an indictment against the leaders of the people, “many pastors” who are held in God’s view responsible before anyone else for the devastation coming upon the nation.
