Jeremiah 9:12-15 ESV
Who is the man so wise that he can understand this? To whom has the mouth of the Lord spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined and laid waste like a wilderness, so that no one passes through? And the Lord says: “Because they have forsaken my law that I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in accord with it, but have stubbornly followed their own hearts and have gone after the Baals, as their fathers taught them. Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed this people with bitter food, and give them poisonous water to drink.
As Moses threw a branch in the bitter water in the wilderness and made it sweet, so would Jesus, the branch of Jessie, enter the waters of mankind to remove their sin. The water of today is poisonous to drink, made so by the sin of man.
Be the one who understands this and drinks from the sweet waters of God’s mercy and salvation.
