In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Jeremiah with chapters 5 through 10 from the King James Version.
Jeremiah searches the streets of Jerusalem for those who seek truth, but finds a people who have turned away from the Lord. Through the prophet, God warns Judah of approaching judgment, false worship, injustice, and confidence in outward religion without inward obedience.
Yet amid these solemn words comes a gracious invitation: “Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way.” Jeremiah calls the people back to faithful obedience, while grieving over their spiritual wounds and asking, “Is there no balm in Gilead?”
These chapters also contrast powerless idols with the living God, the everlasting King who made the earth by His power and established the world by His wisdom. Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Jeremiah chapters 5 to 10 invite us toward humility, truth, repentance, and renewed trust in the Lord.
