Well, folks, it's been a rough ride for the prophet Jeremiah in the Old Testament. In Jeremiah 7, he's pleading with the people to turn away from their wickedness and return to God. But, frankly, he's not too optimistic. He's telling them not to rely on their sacrifices, but to actually show their repentance through their actions. He also warns them that the Temple won't keep them safe if they don't change their ways. Yeah, I mean, it's all a bit heavy, y'know?
