Jeremiah 6 deals with the rebellion and lack of repentance of the people of Judah, as well as the imminent destruction that would come upon them as a consequence of their sins. Next, I present five verses related to these themes:
Hosea 14:1: "Convert you, O Israel, to the Lord your God; for by your sins you have fallen." This verse brings a message similar to that of Jeremiah 6, calling God's people to repentance and conversion.
Isaiah 55:6-7: "Seek the Lord as long as one can find, invoke him while he is near. Leave the wicked his way, and the evil man his thoughts; turn to the Lord, who shall be sympathetic to him; To our God, because it is abundant in forgiving. " This verse encourages people to seek God as long as there is time, abandoning their sinful ways and turning to the Lord, who is abundant in forgiving.
Ezekiel 18:30: "Therefore, I will judge you, to each one according to their ways, O house of Israel, says the Lord Jehovah. stumble. " This verse reinforces the idea that God's judgment will be based on each person's actions, and encourages people to repent and abandon their sins.
Psalm 51:17: "Sacrifices to God are the broken Spirit; to a broken and contrite heart thou shalt not despise, O God." This verse emphasizes that the true sacrifice to God is a broken and contrite heart, not simply external rituals.
Isaiah 1:16-17: "Wash, purify you, take the evil from your acts from before my eyes; cease to do evil. I learned to do good; , deal with the cause of the widows. " This verse calls people to abandon their sins and practice justice and goodness as a way of pleasing God.
