Jeremiah 6:10

Who will listen?

10 To whom can I speak and give warning?
Who will listen to me?
Their ears are closed
so they cannot hear.
The word of the LORD is offensive to them;
they find no pleasure in it.

Jeremiah tells us of his frustration with the people of God.

• What was the source of Jeremiah's frustration? Is it possible to really listen but not understand and/or take action?
• Are there times when your "ears are closed?"
• Do you know people who are offended by God's word?
• If we attend church and "listen" but take no action to conform our lives to God's commands, how are we different from Israel?

Why is this verse an appropriate "Life Sentence" for Jeremiah?
