Jeremiah 12-16

• The evil may be going through good times right now (12:1-3). But God promises that they will be plucked out. He knows what each and everyone has done (v14). He they repent, God loves (v15-16), but otherwise destroyed (v17)

"Thus says the LORD: Even so will I spoil the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who stubbornly follow their own heart and have gone after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be like this loincloth, which is good for nothing.

-- Jeremiah 13:9-10

• Consequences of not repenting (chapter 15), but towards the end at v19-21, God still provides the option to choosing the valuable road to take.

• God hates idolatry. (16:11) He emphasises this over and on top of breaking the laws generally.
