Jeremiah 9 · Grade 3

Friends Who Tell the Truth

Name Date

Read the Story

Jeremiah was very sad. He wished his eyes were a spring of tears so he could cry for his people. The people had stopped telling the truth. Friends lied to each other, and neighbors could not trust each other.

God said they had taught their tongues to speak lies. Because of their lies, they refused to know God. God wanted his people to be honest and to know him.

God said the wise should not glory in their wisdom. The mighty should not glory in their might. The rich should not glory in their riches. Instead, people should glory that they understand and know God, who shows loving kindness, justice, and righteousness.

Memory Verse

But let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness on the earth, for I delight in these things,” says Yahweh.

Jeremiah 9 · Grade 4

Boast in the Lord

Name Date

Read and Think

Jeremiah's heart broke for his people. He wished his head were waters and his eyes a spring of tears so he could weep day and night. He even wished for a traveler's lodging in the wilderness, far from the lies around him.

The land was full of deceit. Friends deceived each other and would not speak the truth. People spoke peaceably to their neighbor but secretly planned harm. Through deceit, they refused to know God. God said he would test them like metal in a fire.

Then God showed what really matters. The wise man, the mighty man, and the rich man should not glory in what they have. But let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me. God exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness on the earth, and he delights in these things.

Jeremiah 9 · Grade 5

Understanding and Knowing God

Name Date

Read and Think

Jeremiah 9 opens with the prophet's tears. Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears. Jeremiah was so troubled by the faithlessness around him that he longed to escape to a lodging place in the wilderness. The chapter also calls for mourning women to lament, because disaster and death were coming to Jerusalem and Judah.

The heart of the problem was deceit. They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood. Friends deceive each other, and will not speak the truth. Every brother would supplant and every neighbor would slander. God summed it up, saying that through deceit they refuse to know him. Lying to others and refusing God went together.

Against this, God set out what is worth boasting in. Not wisdom, might, or riches. But let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me. God described himself as Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness on the earth. Knowing God means sharing in what he delights in. In the New Testament, Paul quotes this idea, telling believers to boast in the Lord (1 Corinthians 1:31).

  1. What did Jeremiah long to escape to?

  2. How are lying and refusing God connected in this chapter?

  3. What three things did God say not to boast in?
