O Hope of Israel, our Savior in times of trouble, why are you like a stranger to us? Why are you like a traveler passing through the land, stopping only for the night?

In those days Israel was holy to the Lord, the first of his children. All who harmed his people were declared guilty, and disaster fell on them. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

The captain of the guard called for Jeremiah and said,“ The Lord your God has brought this disaster on this land,just as he said he would. For these people have sinned against the Lord and disobeyed him. That is why it happened.

This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says:“ When I bring them back from captivity, the people of Judah and its towns will again say,‘ The Lord bless you, O righteous home, O holy mountain!’

The buyers slaughter their sheep without remorse. The sellers say,‘ Praise the Lord! Now I’m rich!’ Even the shepherds have no compassion for them.

This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says:“ The people of Israel and Judah have been wronged. Their captors hold them and refuse to let them go.

In view of all your faithful mercies, Lord, please turn your furious anger away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain. All the neighboring nations mock Jerusalem and your people because of our sins and the sins of our ancestors.

For they have devoured your people Israel, making the land a desolate wilderness.

Our ancestors trusted in you, and you rescued them.They cried out to you and were saved. They trusted in you and were never disgraced.

“ I have abandoned my people, my special possession. I have surrendered my dearest ones to their enemies.My chosen people have roared at me like a lion of the forest, so I have treated them with contempt.My chosen people act like speckled vultures, but they themselves are surrounded by vultures. Bring on the wild animals to pick their corpses clean!“ Many rulers have ravaged my vineyard, trampling down the vines and turning all its beauty into a barren wilderness.They have made it an empty wasteland; I hear its mournful cry. The whole land is desolate, and no one even cares.

The Syrians from the east and the Philistines from the west will bare their fangs and devour Israel. But even then the Lord’s anger will not be satisfied. His fist is still poised to strike.

Lord, through all the generations you have been our home!

This letter is from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, appointed by the command of God our Savior and Christ Jesus, who gives us hope.

We have refused to listen to your servants the prophets, who spoke on your authority to our kings and princes and ancestors and to all the people of the land.

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

For I was angry with my chosen people and punished them by letting them fall into your hands. But you, Babylon, showed them no mercy. You oppressed even the elderly.

Come, wild animals of the field! Come, wild animals of the forest! Come and devour my people!

“ The Israelites are like sheep that have been scattered by lions. First the king of Assyria ate them up. Then King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon cracked their bones.”

But I am very angry with the other nations that are now enjoying peace and security. I was only a little angry with my people, but the nations inflicted harm on them far beyond my intentions.
