We are so stubborn. The jews reached out to Jeremiah to pray for them and will do as the Lord says then rejects the answer. As God said in this chapter, you will see I'm telling the truth and by then it will be too late. You will see evil and not good from God.
Hi Eric. Are you referring to Jeremiah chapter 44? If so, verse 16 speaks about the Jews living in Egypt refusing to listen to the words of Jeremiah, but would rather sacrifice to idols as their lives were better off (vv17,18). Maybe you missed the words "we will NOT hearken unto thee (Jeremiah)". They should have remembered how the Lord destroyed Jerusalem earlier because of their idolatry & their land became a curse (vv 20-22).
