Deine Bosheit straft dich, und deine Abtrünnigkeit züchtigt dich! Erkenne doch und sieh, wie schlimm und bitter es ist, dass du den Herrn, deinen Gott, verlassen hast und dass keine Furcht vor mir in dir ist!, spricht der Herrscher, der Herr der Heerscharen.
Was bedeutet das?
Jeremiah 2:19 says that God will correct you because of your own wickedness and backslidings. God is speaking here, and the key message is that forsaking Him leads to bitter consequences.
