Jeremiah 23-24, Proverbs 10
Episode description
Jeremiah 23 - 1:05 .
Jeremiah 24 - 11:41 .
Proverbs 10 - 14:20 .
In our last reading, Jeremiah condemned Zedekiah and the three godless kings that preceded him. These leaders of Judah, whom the Lord addresses as shepherds in today’s reading, have led the Lord’s flock away from Him, but God promises to raise up one who is called “a Righteous Branch for David,” a king and a shepherd who will reign wisely and administer justice righteously. Moreover, the prophets of Judah have not only prophesied falsely in the name of the Lord, they have become so morally repugnant that when the Lord assesses them, they seem like Sodom and Gomorrah. While Jeremiah prophesies wrath and destruction, these false prophets prophesy peace. Finally, the Lord gives Jeremiah a vision of two different baskets of figs presented to God at the temple.
