Jeremiah Rebukes an Unfaithful Nation (Continued) - Jeremiah 13:1-27, 14:1-22, 15:1-9
"I can no longer show compassion.... I will make their widows more numerous than the sands of the sea." Jeremiah 15:6, 8 [The Lord pronouncing judgment on Judah.]
One of the few acts of specific service the Lord calls for again and again is taking care of the widows. He truly has a heart for this disenfranchised, humbled group. But here His punishment will add to the number of widows. How great the evil must be for the Lord to go to such extreme measures. This same chapter points specifically to the cause being: "what Mannasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.". It doesn't matter that Hezekiah before and Josiah after Manasseh will seek the Lord's will.
One evil leader can do incredible damage. A caution when we think leadership doesnt matter. It does. Even to the innocent.
Lord knows.
