Bible Study • Jeremiah Chapters 13–15 • 9 August 2026
God made His people to cling to Him the way a sash clings to a man’s waist (Jer. 13:11). A sash that stops clinging rots in a hole by the river and is good for nothing. Then the prophet who preached that ends up praying his people’s own words back to God — they say they are called by Your name, and so does he; they say there is no healing for us, and he says my wound is incurable (Jer. 14:9, 19; 15:16, 18) — and he accuses God of being a stream that runs dry. God doesn’t defend Himself. He answers with the very thing Jeremiah has been preaching: “If you return, then I will bring you back” (Jer. 15:19). Our Confessions file that line under the Gospel.
