Jeremiah+Chapter+09

It's easy to look at the world and be disgusted by it, but God is calling us to look at the world and be broken by it.

v.4 - Jeremiah goes from grieving to being on guard

v.17 Just like the girl in Luke 8 - the professional mourners had come

**23** Thus says the Lord : “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, **24** but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord .”

A ritualistic following of God is not pleasing to him.
