Jeremiah 13:15

15: Listen! Do not be proud, for the LORD has spoken.

Therefore, listen to this message from the LORD, you scoffing rulers in Jerusalem.

Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem. It is firm, a tested and precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never run away again.
"I will take the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness to check the foundation wall you have built. Your refuge looks strong, but since it is made of lies, a hailstorm will knock it down. Since it is made of deception, the enemy will come like a flood to sweep it away.
I will cancel the bargain you made to avoid death, and I will overturn your deal to dodge the grave. When the terrible enemy floods in, you will be trampled into the ground.

Anyone who is willing to hear should listen to the Spirit and understand what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

But Peter and John replied, "Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him?
We cannot stop telling about the wonderful things we have seen and heard."
