Jeremiah 6:26-30 The Message
26 “Dear Daughter Zion: Dress in black.
Blacken your face with ashes.
Weep most bitterly,
as for an only child.
The countdown has begun . . .
six, five, four, three . . .
The Terror is on us!”
Blacken your face with ashes.
Weep most bitterly,
as for an only child.
The countdown has begun . . .
six, five, four, three . . .
The Terror is on us!”
27-30 God gave me this task:
“I have made you the examiner of my people,
to examine and weigh their lives.
They’re a thickheaded, hard-nosed bunch,
rotten to the core, the lot of them.
Refining fires are cranked up to white heat,
but the ore stays a lump, unchanged.
It’s useless to keep trying any longer.
Nothing can refine evil out of them.
Men will give up and call them ‘slag,’
thrown on the slag heap by me, their God.”

True
repentance is turning away from sin and returning to God. A
homecoming filled with joy and the promise of a new life lived in the
hollow of God's hand. Repentance is confessing your sin and accepting
the grace in God's forgiveness. Repentance is practicing obedience to
God's will. Repentance is not just saying you are sorry and begging
forgiveness is also wearing the new robes of righteousness.
