“‘ Think carefully about this from now on. Think about how things were before the Lord’ s temple was built. This was before one stone was laid on top of another.

They think about all the evil things they have done. And they turn away from them. So you can be sure they will live. They will not die.

The Lord who rules over all says,“ Think carefully about how you are living.

Blessed is the one who always trembles in front of God. But anyone who makes their heart stubborn will get into trouble.

Whoever still won’t obey after being warned many times will suddenly be destroyed. Nothing can save them.

Now may a way be opened up for us to come to you. May our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus do this.

“ Look up at the bare hilltops. Is there any place where you have not worshiped other gods? You have been unfaithful to me like a wife committing adultery. By the side of the road you sat waiting for lovers. You sat there like someone who wanders in the desert. You have made the land impure. You are like a sinful prostitute.So I have held back the showers. I have kept the spring rains from falling. But you still have the bold face of a prostitute. You refuse to blush with shame.

I have thought about the way I live. And I have decided to follow your covenant laws.

Are they ashamed of their hateful actions? No. They do not feel any shame at all. They do not even know how to blush. So they will fall like others who have already fallen. They will be brought down when I punish them,” says the Lord.

He continues,“ Think carefully about how you are living.

“ We won’t listen to the message you have spoken to us in the Lord’ s name!We will certainly do everything we said we would. We’ll burn incense to the female god called the Queen of Heaven. We’ll pour out drink offerings to her. We’ll do just as we and our people of long ago have done. Our kings and our officials also did it. All of us did it in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty of food. We were well off. We didn’t suffer any harm.

“ Then he began to think clearly again. He said,‘ How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough food! But here I am dying from hunger!I will get up and go back to my father. I will say to him,“ Father, I have sinned against heaven. And I have sinned against you.

I hope I will always stand firm in following your orders.

It is the 24th day of the ninth month. From this day on, here is what you should think carefully about. Think about the day when the foundation of my temple was laid.Are any seeds still left in your barns? Until now, your vines and fig trees have not produced any fruit. Your pomegranate and olive trees have not produced any either.“‘ But from this day on I will bless you.’ ”

Lord, don’t your eyes look for truth? You struck down your people. But they didn’t feel any pain. You crushed them. But they refused to be corrected. They made their faces harder than stone. They refused to turn away from their sins.
