Jeremiah quotes:

We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost.

If at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it, and if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will repent of the evil that I intended to do to it.

Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have.

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise.

Do not say, 'I am only a boy'; for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and you shall speak whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.

O Lord, correct me, but with judgment: not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing.
