 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.
