Evil doesn’t change. It may vary in degrees of wickedness, but it doesn’t change. Here in modern day America, you could walk out in a street in any major city and hear these exact words, “Don’t waste your breath. We will continue to live as we want to, stubbornly following our evil desires.” This just goes to show the true nature of the human heart; deceitful, wicked, and never fully trustable. It doesn’t change, unless Jesus calls you out.
5 Then the Lord gave me this message: 6 “O Israel, can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand. 7 If I announce that a certain nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed, 8 but then that nation renounces its evil ways, I will not destroy it as I had planned. 9 And if I announce that I will plant and build up a certain nation or kingdom, 10 but then that nation turns to evil and refuses to obey Me, I will not bless it as I said I would.11 “Therefore, Jeremiah, go and warn all Judah and Jerusalem. Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am planning disaster for you instead of good. So turn from your evil ways, each of you, and do what is right.’ ”12 But the people replied, “Don’t waste your breath. We will continue to live as we want to, stubbornly following our own evil desires.”
Jeremiah 18:5-12
