Judah has fortified many towns. But I will send fire on their cities that will consume their fortresses.”

Because your sins are so many and your hostility so great, the prophet is considered a fool, the inspired person a maniac.

But you have planted wickedness, you have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of deception. Because you have depended on your own strength and on your many warriors, 14the roar of battle will rise against your people, so that all your fortresses will be devastated—

Lord God my Father,

You are all powerful and your way will happen. Soften my heart so I am with you completely, help me to see the sin I carry so you can heal me of it. Allow your wisdom to guide me to the proper path and love as you designed it. Help me to remove the wickedness and represent your Truth well.

In Jessus name I pray,

Amen
