Für Kinder erklärt
Imagine you're playing with friends, and you tell them that it's okay to take toys from others because you do it. Jeremiah is telling the Israelites they're doing something similar: pretending to be good while actually teaching others to do bad things. It's like being a bad role model.
Historischer Hintergrund
Jeremiah, a prophet, wrote this around 627-586 BCE. He was addressing the people of Judah, warning them about their corrupt ways and the consequences of their actions. The cultural context was one of moral decay in the kingdom of Judah.
Anwendung für heute
