For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 17 is found in chapter 8 of Jeremiah. The scribes and religious leaders possess the law, but use it in a way that does not produce obedience. The statement about the wise being put to shame shows that religious knowledge without faithfulness becomes deception. The threat of poisonous serpents that cannot be charmed expresses the inevitability of judgment.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
