Their land is full of idols; the people worship things they have made with their own hands.9So now they will be humbled, and all will be brought low—

Don’t put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. What good are they?

For Jerusalem will stumble, and Judah will fall, because they speak out against the Lord and refuse to obey him. They provoke him to his face.9The very look on their faces gives them away. They display their sin like the people of Sodom and don’t even try to hide it. They are doomed! They have brought destruction upon themselves.

So my people will go into exile far away because they do not know me.

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart under your authority and remove my fears. Cause me to have courage to do your will above the desire of the world. Use me to spread your Love to others.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
