Jeremiah 2:1-37

Contents: First message to backslidden Judah concerning their ingratitude to God and wickedness against Him.

Characters: God, Jeremiah.

Conclusion: It is a great affront to God to neglect Him and forget Him, failing to acknowledge His kindnesses, withholding the tributes of love and praise due Him, and worst of all, to turn to idols which cannot possibly do them any good. Such backslidings are invariably followed with severe corrections that the backslider might read his sin in the punishment.

Key Word: Jehovah forgotten, Jeremiah 2:32.

Strong Verses: Jeremiah 2:13; Jeremiah 2:32.
