TSK · Jeremiah 2:31

When you eat your fill, when you build and occupy good houses,

Israel’s Rebellion But Jeshurun became fat and kicked, you got fat, thick, and stuffed! Then he deserted the God who made him, and treated the Rock who saved him with contempt.

Nathan said to David,“You are that man! This is what the LORD God of Israel has said:‘I chose you to be king over Israel and I rescued you from the hand of Saul.

Azariah, the head priest from the family of Zadok, said to him,“Since the contributions began arriving in the LORD’s temple, we have had plenty to eat and have a large quantity left over. For the LORD has blessed his people, and this large amount remains.”

So they say to God,‘Turn away from us! We do not want to know your ways.

They say,“We speak persuasively; we know how to flatter and boast. Who is our master?”

I have not spoken in secret, in some hidden place. I did not tell Jacob’s descendants,‘Seek me in vain!’ I am the LORD, the one who speaks honestly, who makes reliable announcements.

I will go to the leaders and speak with them. Surely they know what the LORD demands. Surely they know what their God requires of them.” Yet all of them, too, have rejected his authority and refuse to submit to him.

I will do this in order to capture the hearts of the house of Israel, who have alienated themselves from me on account of all their idols.’

When they were fed, they became satisfied; when they were satisfied, they became proud; as a result, they forgot me!

Listen! The LORD is calling to the city! It is wise to respect your authority, O LORD! Listen, O nation, and those assembled in the city!

Already you are satisfied! Already you are rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you had become kings so that we could reign with you!
