How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.

The verse 7 is found in chapter 5 of Jeremiah. The people have turned the abundance they received into an occasion for unfaithfulness. The prophets who announce security are accused of speaking falsely, but Jeremiah declares that God’s word will be like fire. False prophecy attempts to domesticate judgment, while the authentic word retains the power to confront and consume.
