Jeremiah 18
Jeremiah 18 is a big reminder of the power of God, that he can do anything he likes whenever and wherever. the porter and the clay illustration wasn't just to say God molds us, but also to say destiny and fate are all in his hands. Also, this verse is one of them where again, God compares sinners to adultery, people who are unfaithful to their spouse.
Jeremiah 11 - 17
Chapter 11: This chapter talks about Israel breaking the covenants that God set with them generations before them. I found it interesting, because usually, we talk about generational curses and all that, but this one seems to say something else instead. It talks about a generational contract that was being broken. Or even bigger, a generational covenant that was being broken. And also the graciousness of God to allow renewal of that covenant as long as we turn back to him.
between chapter 12 -17, there's a lot of back and forth of the sins of what Israel committed, and a lot of punishment dishing out. but also, a lot of forgiveness and asking of his people to return. it is heart breaking to see God reached his limits.
