Jeremiah 49 · Grade 3
What Can't Save Us
Read the Story
God gave Jeremiah messages for many nations. Ammon trusted in its treasures. Edom was known for its wise men and for living high in the rocks. Damascus was a great city. Kedar and Hazor lived in tents in the desert, and Elam was known for its bowmen.
God said none of these things could keep them safe. Edom had made its nest high like an eagle, but God would bring it down. Wise people, riches, and strong armies could not stand against God.
In the middle of these messages, God spoke tenderly. Leave your fatherless children. I will preserve them alive. Let your widows trust in me. God also promised that he would one day bring back the fortunes of Ammon and Elam.
