Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 2, 2025

Devastating is Jeremiah’s description, for the suffering of infants is great. Judah sinned worse than Sodom. Once devastated, the rich became as poor. The world is in a lamentable situation, but refuses to look at the basic underlying cause - man’s sin against God. Repentance is needed!
