Opening Prayer
Open my eyes O Lord that I might behold wondrous things from your word in Jesus name.
Scripture Reading
Jeremiah 5:1-19
1 “Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem;
See now and know;
And seek in her open places
If you can find a man,
If there is anyone who executes [a]judgment,
Who seeks the truth,
And I will pardon her.
2 Though they say, ‘As the Lord lives,’
Surely they swear falsely.”
3 O Lord, are not Your eyes on the truth?
You have stricken them,
But they have not grieved;
You have consumed them,
But they have refused to receive correction.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to return.
4 Therefore I said, “Surely these are poor.
They are foolish;
For they do not know the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.
5 I will go to the great men and speak to them,
For they have known the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.”
But these have altogether broken the yoke
And burst the bonds.
6 Therefore a lion from the forest shall slay them,
A wolf of the deserts shall destroy them;
A leopard will watch over their cities.
Everyone who goes out from there shall be torn in pieces,
Because their transgressions are many;
Their backslidings have increased.
7 “How shall I pardon you for this?
Your children have forsaken Me
And sworn by those that are not gods.
When I had fed them to the full,
Then they committed adultery
And assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
8 They were like well-fed lusty stallions;
Every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife.
9 Shall I not punish them for these things?” says the Lord.
“And shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?
10 “Go up on her walls and destroy,
But do not [b]make a complete end.
Take away her branches,
For they are not the Lord’s.
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah
Have dealt very treacherously with Me,” says the Lord.
12 They have lied about the Lord,
And said, “It is not He.
Neither will [c]evil come upon us,
Nor shall we see sword or famine.
13 And the prophets become wind,
For the word is not in them.
Thus shall it be done to them.”
14 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts:
“Because you speak this word,
Behold, I will make My words in your mouth fire,
And this people wood,
And it shall devour them.
15 Behold, I will bring a nation against you from afar,
O house of Israel,” says the Lord.
“It is a mighty nation,
It is an ancient nation,
A nation whose language you do not know,
Nor can you understand what they say.
16 Their quiver is like an open tomb;
They are all mighty men.
17 And they shall eat up your harvest and your bread,
Which your sons and daughters should eat.
They shall eat up your flocks and your herds;
They shall eat up your vines and your fig trees;
They shall destroy your fortified cities,
In which you trust, with the sword.
18 “Nevertheless in those days,” says the Lord, “I will not [d]make a complete end of you. 19 And it will be when you say, ‘Why does the Lord our God do all these things to us?’ then you shall answer them, ‘Just as you have forsaken Me and served foreign gods in your land, so you shall serve aliens in a land that is not yours.’

Scripture Union Daily Guide 15 November 2025 Outline
Judah was so depraved that it was difficult to find one upright person both among the followers and the leaders (Jeremiah 5:1-5, cf. Hosea 4:1-3; Isaiah 64:6-7). As God’s searchlight beams upon our cities will he find you and I as persons who are honest and truthful?
Read Jeremiah 5:7-9 again and reflect on why God’s anger was kindled against Judah. Despite God’s faithfulness to them, meeting all their needs (Jeremiah 5:7-8), they were utterly unfaithful (Jeremiah 5:11). Judah’s path was so crooked (Jeremiah 5:10-13) that it can only compare with the broad way of Matthew 7:13-14. Therefore, the Lord would bring their enemies against them. See the kind of enemy God was bringing against His people and what they will do (Jeremiah 5:6,15-17). Activities of bandits, kidnappers, Boko Haram, Al Shabab, and various ISIS killers are all over the place. Could that be God’s judgment upon our nations too?
In judging His people, God still tempered it with mercy, promising to leave a remnant (Jeremiah 5:10,18 cf. Lamentations 3:22-23; Micah 7:18). This is believers’ consolation in a corrupt society. However, God’s patience will not last forever (Proverbs 29:1).
And So
God is looking for one righteous man in your community. Will it be you?
