The Jews that God had preserved and allowed to live in Judah had now fled into Egypt directly going against God's instructions to them. Now Jeremiah was warning them that they must serve the true God and stop worshipping the queen of heaven or they would be destroyed. Yet, these stubborn people did not even make a pretense of obeying God's Word. They boldly announced that the would not obey God, but the would persist in serving other false gods. Jeremiah told them that if they persisted, God would destroy all of them except a small remnant that would return to Judea.
Are we sometimes as stubborn as these Jews? How does it look to God when we continually disregard His clear instructions in the Bible. Let's always serve Him faithfully and never be guilty of acting like the Jews in Jeremiah's day.
