Deception by False Prophets
“Jeremiah, say to the people,’This is what the Lord says:
“‘When people fall down, don’t they get up again? When they discover they’re on the wrong road, don’t they turn back? Then why do the people of Jerusalem refuse to turn back?

Does anyone say, “What a terrible thing I have done?” No! All are running down the path of sin as swiftly as a horse galloping into battle! Even the stork that files across the sky knows the time of her migration, as do the turtledove, the swallow, and the crane. They all return at the proper time each hear. But not My people! They do not know the Lord’s laws.
