Read Jeremiah 17 ESV out loud all the way through the chapter the first time through. Then read again in the following segments as we go through the chapter together.
Read Jeremiah 17:1-4 ESV and describe what the condition of Judah is at this time:

Write out Jeremiah 17:4 ESV
How does Judah loose the heritage that the LORD gave them and whose fault was it?
Read Jeremiah 17:5-6 ESV and consider the following questions.
Jeremiah 17:5-6 ESV
Thus says the LORD:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength,
whose heart is turned away from the LORD.
He is like a shrub in the desert,
and shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in in the parched places of the wilderness,
in an uninhabited salt land.”
In what ways have the people of the LORD put there trust in man and made their own flesh their strength? What about you personally?
Have you ever been in a place in your life where you were in a “parched place of wilderness” and there was nothing to satisfy your thirsty soul while you lived in “an uninhabited salt land”?
Read Jeremiah 17:7-8 ESV and compare your life as one who trusts in the LORD versus in man.
Read Jeremiah 17:9-13 ESV list all the words that are used to describe:
The LORD:
The People:
The Heart:
Close today’s session in the Word with a time of giving thanks to the LORD for all the things He has shown you through this and how you can learn from it!
